More from PA

The second day of out two day trip to PA allowed us to celebrate Christmas with my mother's side of the family, which was something we hadn't done in several years. It was a nice visit, although short, but that seems to be about all my grandmother can take. It is really amazing (not in a good way) to see how fast her mental health is deteriorating. By two o'clock yesterday she was rushing us out the door. As frustrating as that was, I know she can't help it and the dementia is winning the battle.

Before we were encouraged to go, I had a chance to take some photos of my 16 month old nephew. Without a doubt, that is absolutely the hardest age to formally photograph. His new found mobility is too much to control for a photo sitting. I did my best and hopefully captured something of use. We'll see when I develop them this evening. I saw this cartoon this morning and wished I could have used it on him, but I don't think even a $100 would have made a difference to him. The really cool thing is I'll get to try the same thing with his newly announced sibling who will be the same age in two years!!! We were really excited to hear that I will be an uncle again in August!
