Birthdays and fun...

Happy Birthday to my Great Aunt Ellen, 86, and to my wonderful wife, Christa, who is ... well, young, beautiful and smart as a doctor. Christa had a semi-surprise party at PF Changs (right) with many of our dear Tucson friends.

Had a great time after Xmas, which was peaceful and bright. We went to Phoenix to see grampa Herbie and Nana and the Weinsteins, whom the last time we saw the girls, it was all the rage to call me Uncle Poopy Butt. They are more grown now, more polite and delightful nieces. Emma held Isaac at a fabulous Italian eatery and the swimming pool while Sophie made lemon juice and splashed around for two hours in the super-heated pool with Alden. Here are the pics, I have to go finish my NSF proposal before Monday and spend time with my kids.
