What were they thinking?

Obviously, they didn't assign registration numbers based on speed ...

Will, Leah, and big sis Elizabeth

Leah and Will turned 4 months last week. They'll be looking as grown up as their big sister before we know it.

Best Books Of Your Recent Past?

So, we're sneaking up on that ole summer season ... and time for summer reading. Whether on the beach, by the pool, or on the couch, I'd wager we all read a LOT more during June, July, and August.

So how about some suggestions? What have you read in the last year or two that really captured your attention and stayed with you?

I'll start with "America America" by Ethan Canin -- probably the best book I've read in the last 12 months.

Little Lauren

Here's little Lauren at 4 1/2 months and with Grammy visiting!

holy cow i got 3 kids

Casco planning

Millers and Simpsons -- I know it's not yet May, but I've already got friends interested in visiting the cabin. That said, I don't want to step on any toes, particularly when any of you (and your guests) might be coming.

I'm going to put together a calendar, post it on the blog, and update it as we get closer to summer. If you could let me know times you will be in Casco (and, also, those times you definitely won't), that would be great. Right now, the only times I know you all won't be up are July 24th, August 8th, and August 15th.

Many thanks,
Your concierge,
Weston Charles
