I declare the last two months to be an extended celebration of my first birthday. That's why the blog has been so quiet. (If you care to disagree then be here at 3am on any morning and I will debate the topic in my usual style. There may be a brief intermission for sleeping between 4am and 4:10 and then the debate will resume.)

The birthday party retinue included Grandparents Schu and Uncle Greg. The visitors were very welcome and I had so many trips to the park to keep them entertained. We also went to Franklin NC and I hiked some waterfalls.
