Fancy Dress

Hi all,
This is Jan's sister Ken again. Talking about what to wear for Halloween? - I just had to share this fancy dress photo of the three guys, Caleb, Max, and Kai taken last June. For my wedding (in Renaissance style), the three came down to Pennsylvania with Jan and Sarah to help us celebrate with a bushel of oysters and a case of champagne. The three, aka The "Three-Headed Knight of the Oyster" or "The Knights who say Shuck!" were the hit of the party. In fact, the whole event was so much fun, we will have a re-enactment next year!

When I showed Caleb this picture a few weeks ago I saw him smile for the first time. I also asked him whether he would come to the party next year, and he nodded a definite "yes". So Sharyn, as your appointment calendar is filling up for the summer, please reserve the first week-end in June for our re-party.

By the way, one of the bloggers was wondering why Jan is so invisible on the blog. He and Sarah and Caleb's 89 year-old grandmother Vivi have been visiting every week-end and are very involved..They just don't show up on the web site, because to Jan, a computer is still a highly mystical, magical object...

Just found this great picture of Caleb. This has nothing to do with anything, but it just seems to embody a lot of what we all love about him.

Take care,
Ken
