Mark took this picture of Ed at the Retirement Concert Post Party at the Myerhoff. It was wonderful for Ed, and Mark captioned this picture . . .

Here's my Dad, standing patiently as the accolades start rolling in... the GM of the BSO gave him a glowing introduction. We all know how great he is, but it's great to see other people acknowledge it, too!

"The Two Eds" put on a show of their own after the formal presentations. Here is their poster.

The grandkids on Thanksgiving Night. WAIT, ONE IS MISSING . . .

Aha, here he is! (This shot was actually taken earlier, with Joshua wearing his own creation to the Pre-K Thanksgiving Feast.)

Ian is honing his skills of playing "the egg game" - a fun invention of spooning the egg across the table to grandma

The little guy loved playing in the leaves . . .

. . . And his big sister, too!

Supper break at WJZ turned into left-overs at 4012. The new, improved version of Mark (minus nearly 40 lbs.) doesn't "clean the plate" anymore!

One great l ittle guy. Ian is about 19 months old but thinks he is 6. He owns the world.

The little ones enjoyed their school party.

Lighting is poor but Wonder Woman is wonderful!

Backyard fun - doesn't take much. Just a warm day, a swing and a happy boy.

Hmmm, a red-haired Cleopatra?

Joshua and Buddy having a ritual run through the house

Joshua is caaught in the middle of a game with Iron Man and Super Man (and a bit of spaghettio's on his own chin)

Hannah hasn't lost her love for sitting in her backyard tree.

Wonder Woman gets her wish and was able to pet all three horses in her school's Halloween Parade. She was one happy little girl!

Haylie was a bit under the weather and wanted to learn how to use the digital camera. She was a quick learner and took about 85 pictures in 5 minutes

Here, Mr. Owl guards the entrance to THE TENT.

Here it is - the biggest and best tent we've ever had. Haylie, Ian and Grandma had snacks and rests inside.

Yes, this is another of Haylie's pictures. Here she just missed getting a great shot of "the new sherrif in town".

Haylie snapped this shot of Clancy (the "No-No kitty) on THE TENT.

Playing in a pool of leaves was lots of fun

Notice the great smile on Grandpa when Haylie takes his picture!
