A visit from Cousin Amy and Aunt Katherine - March 2001  

    Cousin Amy graced us with her serene presence (Serenity now!!) for ten days in March, beginning on her 20th birthday, on the 2nd. Only she and Luke know what what really went on during this time, but here are some pics from some of the more above-ground comings and goings and photo ops. Aunt Katherine was kind enough to jet down for a couple of days to join in the fun, especially the music making and recording.

   Having Amy and Kath here was like having a bigger, better family, with more girls in it. We are looking forward to their next visit.
