Uncle Tim

We just got back to town from a NC/MD road trip. The week before we we left Uncle Tim came down from VT to visit right on the heels of Bethany's visit. It was also Ainsleigh's last week of kindergarten. Here she is heading to the bus on her final day:

And here is Rippy, her morning escort.

We had a lovely visit with Tim but didn't do so well on getting pictures with him, and the ones we did get were nearly all of Rippy refusing to be photographed, one way or another.

It was really nice to have time to talk with Tim. It always makes me happy to be in the same place as him because he has good karma and is so enjoyable to be around. We hope to see him one more time before we leave for the UK but if not we will probably see him sometime across the pond.
