Happy Dad and Son

This picture is guaranteed to make almost anyone smile, but especially the newest Grandma R.! The palpable pride and love and trust just jump out of the photograph, taken by Tate's mom after our recent trip to Reno over Memorial Day, 2007. I love this photo not only for itself and its current subjects, but for the sweet remembrance of our own times past with Colin that it brings afresh to mind. Tate looks a lot like his dad did at this same point in his dad's life--at which point we were just arriving in Barcelona, Spain, to take up a year's residence, during which Jamie had a teaching Fulbright fellowship at the University of Barcelona, and Sally got to luxuriate in mommying and babying. What a great blessing that time was.
