nanny fortune: rest in peace

no action on the blog lately bc we were upstate for the weekend celebrating the life and love of john's grandma fortune, nanny (not to be confused with andrea's grandma foley, also known as nanny, who is alive, and, we're happy to say, keeps on rockin in the free world).

it was a great weekend: great fun, great laughs, and great, great sadness. nanny was a wonderful woman, and we miss her terribly. we rest in the comfort that she gave us so much while she was with us, and the certainty that wherever she is, she is reunited with all the loves of her life who've gone before her.

bongiorno, principesa.

grace from brunch 2 weeks ago

our good friend karen took these amazing photos from across the table at a recent brunch reunion with tons of folks from team in training. they are all doing all manner of amazing fundraising, training, and living at large, so it was great to see them and hear all their good news. also nice to show off our good news: this was grace's introduction to many of these folks, who've been asking to meet her for quite some time. luckily, grace was in top form, and looked especially cute (it takes a lot for me to differentiate any gradation of cuteness in this kid... she's like always at 110% for me. but this day she was at least 150% cute, i swear). here's proof (again: amazing photography karen! make that phoblography, now, and welcome to the blogosphere!)
