Not SO convinced that birthday cakes and candles are a good idea ...

A visit from her Buescher grandparents

The first stop of the Summer trip: Rhode Island, where we saw Michael's brother Stephen and sister My-Angela, Stephen's wife Emilia, and their son Atlas, about a year and a half younger than Maple.  Maple got to Splash! in the Atlantic

Squirrel Island, Maine ...

A Front-Porch conversation with Namma

Picking Blueberries with Uncle Bryan

Bye-Bye, Summer!
