Leigh's Big Weekend!

MomHV and DaDKV have gotten a little stir-crazy over the past 14 months since the arrival of the Leigh, so we took off the first chance we got.

First, to SHV's ancestral Brooklyn to see Lindy, Matt and Stacey.
DHV banging out some tunes on the piano. He woke up at 0520 Saturday morning, "I want to play the piano!"Saturday morning we set off for Matt and Stacey's new 3-5 bedroom apartment. Danny tested out their stroller all around both floors. (note full use of cup-holders)Stacey is 39 weeks, 1 day pregnant in these photos. Her gravid belly was so big it looked fake, like a Hollywood prosthesis. So big, that it jiggled when she laughed. Here she is, super-pregnant, cooking up some bacon for our clan. Or, as she pointed out to Matt, "I'm barefoot and pregnant, in the kitchen!"The workout must have done some good, because they had their baby, Katherine, today (Sunday!) We just missed it!

Anyway, this post was supposed to be about Leigh. Here's a better moment.Here she is after someone made her cry! We won't go into detail, but he's a very best friend to all of us and a new father; he must have been under tremendous stress.Then we packed up for DKV's ancestral Haddonfield. Sunday's soft morning light:Leigh playing a giving a game of give-and-take wth Grandpa.And, lastly, to Philadelphia to see Eric and Courtney and their one-year son, Evan.Eric told his wife, "Court, I need to eat," multiple times until food was procured. Then he did a magic trick with that massive foot-long sub and made it disappear. Courtney's response: "Don't you just love how some things never change?" We love it all, baby.

See you all again soon.

Hey that "I need to eat" trick is a good one... I have it down pat.

Are those some little curls I see developing on Leigh's head? They are to die for!
