Lordy, Lordy Look Who's 40!


Last week the unthinkable happened. And to think it began as a day like most others in our house...

Hazen woke up early as usual, standing in his crib yelling, "Mahmah!"and was soon whisked into her clutches. Soon after, Cally came into the room to show off her latest fashion disaster and she enthusiastically told her beautiful she looked and what great taste she has. A few days before, we spent a glorious day in the early spring sunshine, skiing the fading snow ribbons on the flanks of Madonna & Sterling, with and afternoon detour to Sterling Pond.

Who is this incredible woman you may wonder?

 On this morning Katy, our dear friend, extraordinary mother and my partner in life adventures gracefully, positively and energetically turned 40!  After adventures in Africa, years in the mountains of Montana and a glorious return to Vermont, it happened without fanfare. Hazen shoveling eggs with his hands, Cally talking about the upcoming day between dropped bites of breakfast and a couple candles on specially prepared cinnamon rolls... Katy's 40th year ended and she seems to be happier than ever!

Happy birthday Kate! We love you. Welcome to the good life of your forties...
