Catching up...

The Bean's been busy the last few days, despite a major snowstorm on Monday, and the first public school closure in New York for five years. The view of a snowy Central Park, the morning after the storm:



Before the snow, the whole family visited Matt, Juliet and Liana for dinner on Sunday. The Bean enjoyed getting to be held by some new hands.

The Bean has also had a bunch of visitors at home lately.

Meeting Tracy...



And Robyn...



You might think from all of these pictures that the Bean doesn't do much besides sleep. Mom and Dad sometimes wonder if the Bean's visitors think that, too. Lately, she seems to save her moments of alertness for when she's home with just the family.

One exception was last Saturday, when Julie Brimberg came over, and took pictures of the Bean. The proofs arrived yesterday, and Mom and Dad are amazed by the shots. Thanks Julie!
