It has been some time since we had an official family night. Joining us this evening were cousin Johnie and Nico’s friend Taylor (not yet acclimated to the pressure of daily Calabria blog photos or the posing challenges of a 1/4 second, ambient light exposure). Nicolai, on the other hand, takes advantage of the long exposure to light his index finger on fire.

After dinner we retired to the living room where the men battled the women in a game of Guesstures. The women were leading until Jeanine suggested that the winning team would have first dibs on her freshly baked pumpkin pie. Led by Kyle, the men came from behind for the decisive victory. Jeanine is seen here working clues for the word “middle”. Enlarging the image will provide insight into Jeanine’s competitive intensity.
