Splash - November 2023

This splash photo was taken at Thanksgiving at my brother Eric's house.  We have been gathering there for years now, at least since we have moved to Maryland.  This year we have much to be grateful for.

This photo was taken on the back porch, after the fire they built in the backyard had died out and it was time for to come inside for pie.  They just happen to be standing in birth order here - from left to right, we have, Rachel (25), Samantha (24), Charlotte (20), Josephine (19) and JMichael (15).  Ezamay is right in front of the column and she just turned four last month.

Splash - August 2023

 

The August Splash was taken at church.  Look at these five in a row - from front to back, or left to right, we have Josephine (18), JMichael (15), Samantha (24), Rachel (25) and Charlotte (20).  If you look closely between Josephine and JMichael, you will see a little hand at about JMichael's elbow.  That is Ezamay (3), who was being very good but did not manage to make it into the photo.  My brother's wife was getting baptized and we all were there to support her.  And no, Josephine does not have a tattoo.
