dual personalities

My eldest turned 23 this week and for the first time was not home for the event. We sent presents, but he had no cake and no brothers around with whom to celebrate. It was kind of sad and naturally got me reminiscing about how quickly time flies and how truly wonderful and hilarious raising three boys has been. Of course, we have pictures of many epic adventures — everything from daring the diabolical

to hanging out with debonaire friends

Here’s looking at you, kid

and hair-raising hikes.

But with a video camera there was no stopping them. As a special treat, I share with you their first ever movie, “The Yeti”, filmed by three intrepid boys and a hand-held camera in the wilds of the North Country a long time ago.

Happy (belated) birthday, dear boy!!! And watch out for Yetis and all manner of beasties out there in the real world.
