| Beatrice's college friend Rich Bravo was visiting DC with his wife and son, so Beatrice decided she, Alec, and baby Constantine would visit Grandma Hope and throw a party. The invitation suggested a scene rivalling Dante's Inferno with babies vying to see who could scream the loudest. In the event, the lads behaved quite well and a good time was had by all. |  |
Family and friends rallied round, and there was eating, drinking, and pictures. LOTS of pictures, some here.

Seth and Jenny brought Rosie the dog, and of course Bertie was instantly on Full Alert. Bertie is DEEPLY SUSPICIOUS of Rosie. Even though Rosie is his Cousin! Poor Rosie cowered by Jenny's bag and turned her face to the wall. But Sayer found her and was overjoyed! He pointed out the DOG to his dad! Rosie pretended not to be there.
