(Paul
was there for the first week.)

Nothing
like beer and punting. |

Micah
liked this car just a little. |

| Micah
took this picture. No, we don't know who that is. |

 |
 |
|
Those look like great
steaks! ...Hey, has anybody seen Harry?
|
Well,
he's going to miss all this great steak. |
Theo
took the picture, but everybody else is here. |
Montauk
dawn. How I wish it was a sunset instead. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Instead of sand castles,
the Pavlidis family has a tradition of making boreholes.
|
"Go
surfing, see if I care." |
"Be

I
wanna try it! |

This is where Kira
sleeps most nights, under the shelves in the kitchen. As far from us as
possible.
|
Claire
visited us from California. |
"I
made you a happy birthday" (hummus and crackers) |
Micah
doing his first "knob and hole" jigsaw puzzle.. |
(Don't
get excited, Claire helped him) |
Kira
in her lounge chair, doing her first "glob in the hole". |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| A
VIP visited our street (for at least the second time), filling it with limos,
rifle-toting SWAT teams and secret service agents. Nobody seems to know
who it was. |
First
booster seat experience. The tray table holds her up. |
I'm
a snail! Look! Look! |
See Kira, I'm a snail!
Hmm, really. Is that
what that is.
|
Inspiration
for previous. This is "Scorpion", Micah's pet snail (he named
it himself). |
Molly
mourning the departure of Claire. For a while there she had an adult to
herself. |
