I know I haven’t been updating nearly as much as I normally do, and I appreciate everyone’s patience. I just needed some time to regroup, spend time with family, and leave my Macbook and camera in their cases. I’m back in Brooklyn, and things will be going back to normal. In the meantime, here’s a candid, giggling face-palm snapshot of my little niece, Roxy Mae, from my last trip to Florida. I miss that little darling, something fierce. She reminds me so much of Tessa, and we can already see that she will grow up to be as lovely and kind as Cheech. Wish I could have brought them all back with me! Also, as I was going through our family tree, I realized that we all have nicknames that can be quite confusing – always have, dating back to the 1800s and beyond. So, when I refer to Tessa as Cheech, Chichi, Little One, or Goose, I’m always talking about the same person:)
