Nicolai returned from Colorado College for the Thanksgiving break last week but I have not found an opportunity to photograph him for the blog until today.  After I cut his hair earlier in the day (something I have been doing for my boys since they were tiny things) he offered to give Karuna, his girlfriend, a quick trim.  My mother used to cut my hair so this skill has now been passed down to a third generation.

My sister-in-law, Susan, spent the weekend with us.  She was in the area to do some shopping for items she could not find in her home town of Burlington, Vermont. We are thrilled anytime she comes to visit and got a bonus day when she had to return after driving half way home to retrieve her laptop which she left behind.  Best of all, I now have a fool proof strategy for extending future visits. Please note the dusting of snow on her car’s hood, the first snow fall of the season.
