Damien!

Os' cousin, Damien, came to visit from Virginia during his spring break. We had a wonderful time with him. It is hard to believe that this warm-hearted teenager that is now the same height as Os was the ring bearer in our wedding.


The kids were thrilled to have a huge playmate. Damien is a really talented song writer and guitarist and he had a few jam sessions with the kids.

Of course, there is nothing better than a big cousin for wrestling.


We went to the coast and the three crazies, Os, Drew and Damien, took a plunge in the 52 degree water. Burr! That makes me feel cold just typing it.



Damien had never been west of the Mississippi, so we showed him some of the highlights of the Bay Area: Alcatraz, the redwoods, the Golden Gate Bridge.





We love you, Damien! Come again soon!
