You may not have noticed our absence, but we've been gone.
Ariel went to Georgia for five days with Dad Galli so Abey could meet his Great Grandma Galli.

The trip went fantastically; Hammie and Gigi were fast friends. This was the first Andrew/Ariel separation since marriage, the longing amplified with the absence of Ham! They all found each other again happily, and to Andrew's dismay, Abraham grew up without him!

Just days after that trip Andrew flew to DC to learn more about the different federal agencies and nonprofits out there. He made some good connections and had a great time in that energetic, fast-paced city with some of his MPA colleagues. We hope to kick it out there for an internship next summer.

Abe eats solids.

We think he likes it--and butternut squash, no less!

Life's great!
