I am remembering visiting with 6 month old Chapin for Clinton's first Inauguration weekend and all the fun we had watching the festivities from P'Burgh... remember?
Kenzie, what nice things you said about the cd. Many thanks. Your house looks gorgeous and I hope you continue to post pictures of kids, home, garden, etc.
Now we have to get Camilla blogging. Like she even has time.
