Southampton Summer 2010!!

Grandpops and Bebe rented a sweet little house by the beach for the month of August and we were There, baby! Lots of sun and sand, lots of reading, and food and general family fun. And late night potato chips and ice cream, right Pops? Thanks for sharing and for your generous, adventurous spirits!


Wild child who wore not a lot of clothes and had grass in her toes!

At the beach the day of the hurricane. Bebe looks so sporty!

At the concert in the park - girls day!

A morning with Pop at his fishing hole.


I love this picture. They had so much fun "making them talk"

Here is me trying to take a real portrait of Pop - I like it.

My friends Lauren and Jaime were guests a couple days. Breakfast and paper were so good in that little room.

The living room was a colorful, funny and happy place.

At my friend Kelli's 40th b-day in Montauk with her nephew "Snaggle"

Our last day was Hurricane day. No matter, we saw plenty of good beach days - used more sunscreen in August than my whole life I think. AND I was still brown like a local.

Beach nuts.

Some great memories made here :)

Butterfly 1-2-3!

Before we went to bed last night I asked her if she wanted to do the video for Annie. You know that usually when asked a direct question lately the answer is a resounding NO but she cheerfully jumped up and said "sure!" and then without any direction did this... Love and miss you Aunt Sugar Cookie!

Happy Birthday Papa Craig.

He had to work on his actual birthday yesterday but we managed to sneak this in. We celebrate today in Park Slope upon waking of the giant grown man who sometimes sleeps with a giant pink bear as you will witness here...

Cousin Power!

San Diego Summer 2010 looked something like this... I may come back and add text later but now I must get to sleeep!

Woodybury Megrew Burgess II 1939 - 2010

A baby - already so mischievous and mirthful and himself


A boy and brother


A young trouble maker and handsome guy (yes, that is a schoolyard, yes that is a cigarette!) The one with the car - he is seventeen!





A military man and midnight sky diver


A husband and newlywed




A young father, an older father





A hard working mechanic who often smelled of oil, sweat and cigs.


A trucker through and through. A dog lover like no other.



My father of the bride


A grandfather to Brenda, Christopher, Sabrina, Evan and Finley


Generous to a fault (we were all laughing remembering the time he gave away our Thanksgiving turkey:) Oh, and an absolutely hopeless romantic... Here he is with his "girlfriend" as he liked to call Mom.


Alas, he was a pretty crappy patient. He never admitted to the amount of pain he was in and always tried to do way to much. One of the last photos taken of him - the day we sprung him from the hospital. He was so happy to be home.


Whew, well there it is. The pictures I can do. The words to say about the loss of my father I cannot do here now. Oh, my gosh - though he drove us crazy much of the time we all loved him so, did we not? His friend Jacob described him as an angel - I really like that.
