family photo

January 1, 2011:

Granddaughter Ari's first birthday, in Charlotte, North Carolina

with lots of family in attendance! The Hallers

and [my daughter-in-love] Jenny's parents, sisters & husbands, and little ones.

I came across this photo and realized that

all of us look pretty darn good ... quite an accomplishment

for 17 people, including 3 children. No eyes closed, no hidden heads!

Happy birthday - again - Ari.
But then, I wished you a special first birthday already.
So happy almost-16-months!
