Communing with Grandpa Wally and Grandma Karen

Grandma Karen was present for the birth and then remained with us for two and a half weeks; Grandpa Wally came out one week after Anika was born. We (Wally, Karen, Emily and Anika) vacationed up in New Hampshire for several days, and spent lots of time just loafing and tending to Anika. It was, of course, nice to have their help and their company. Anika traveled like a champ.

And here Anika and I are posing with that apple tree we planted for her up in New Hampshire.
