Covering some ground...
My Dad and Stepmom are in town this week for their first visit with Aidan. Today we went to the Point Reyes Lighthouse. It was vunderbar!
There has been an outing to the San Francisco Botanical Gardens at Strybing Arboretum, several evening movies at home, great conversations, a bottle or two of wine, and lots of baby contact. He loves to smile and coo at his grandparents.
Leon Regelson, Iris McGinnis, and Ed Correia (photo coming) have agreed to be Aidan's Godsquad (godparents). I'm working on an edit of the traditional Methodist baptism service to shape it in less dominating and more inclusive directions while retaining its specifically Christian character. The project is harder than I had thought it would be. That seems less surprising in retrospect.
In Other News, Aidan's Auntie Nicole is moving to the Bay Area today! She will be able to hang with her nephew and we are so looking forward to more time together. With Mikaela Keepin here to live with her sister Naomi, most of the women of our generation (save my sis) are in this area. Wahoo! Nicole's sweetie Jay's nose is pictured in the upper left. The rest of him is as agreeable, he does wonderfully fascinating things with Aidan's little mouse puppet, and is altogether a mensch.
