Who can forget Martha?

 

 

 

 

 

Or Paul?

 

 

All three guys on a
soccer field in Richmond.

 

 

Their cars.

 

 

Gabriel and Zooey.

 

 

 

 

 

Belgium's coastline.
We spent a week in May,
in a bungalow
behind the dunes.

 

 

The view from our deck
over the canal, where we
spend most of our time
during the summer.

 

 

Madrid in June
(before we ended up stranded in our hotel room for two weeks).

 

 

Zooey's first birthday,
July 5. (For you Dutch
folks, yes, that's a Nijntje
cake and Krystle made it.)

 

 

Gabriel received this
rocking chair on
his first birthday.

 

 

Michael and Cristina,
where they live
in Providence.

 

 

Cristina's just home
from class
(Johnson and Wales College of Culinary Arts).

 

 

 

 

 

Southern France
in October.

 

 

The fishing village
near Marseille, where
we spent a week.

 

 

We're steadily visiting all the places where Vincent van Gogh lived. This is the café he painted in Arles.

 

 

The Dutch island of
Texel, in November.

 

 

Oscar Maitreya Ricioppo!

 

 

Joseph, Holly and Oscar.

 

 

It doesn't get
cooler than this.

 

 

 

 

 

Touring Washington DC the day after Christmas (watching the ice skaters in the National Gallery Sculpture Garden).

 

 

Ron and Zosha
(in front of the Washington Monument).

 

 

Grace and Gabriel.

 

 

All our kids!
(and Moby)

 

 

Have a wonderful 2009!
