Elliot's first day of school!

If it's anything like the rest of us, you'll remember it!

Chicago, According to Elliot

Elliot made this postcard on August 10, 2013 in the Chicago History Museum’s exhibition, Sensing Chicago. "This is how Chicago looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels to me," he said.

"We could never have loved the earth so well...

...if we had had no childhood in it."  George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss (1860)

Early childhood has a powerful effect on memory...

...what of this?

Happy Birthday to you, Henry! You are 5 today!

This year, we're all about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Remember what you did last year for your birthday? You (and your Daddy) were pirates! How about the year before that?

Like Mommy used to do with Mimi...

Mayflowers

E., B. and MeMe in May.
