The next morning we went back to Potomac (miraculously, I took no photos of the hotel room which I now regret) where breakfast was served as Larry and Syl greeted the older children and Jack Syl Jane Larry Emma Ben and Matt marveled at the self portraits I could take in face on and profiles views as the fruit salad was served.

The babies appeared with Suzanne and Betsy (Tess in pink, Kate in blue) and moved to Larry

back to Matt (after a brief pass off to Suzanne) and to Larry as Suzanne held on and the two of us posed with the babies while Larry enjoyed Jack's toy and Syl sang great-grandmotherly songs with a Jack interruption before she resumed as this scene emerged before more baby greeting occurred.

Next there were various groupings of adult, older children, and babies

before the baby cart came out and Matt did his baby thing.

Unbeknownst to us, a different drama was unfolding in the basement where Ben and Jane captured Jack and Emma as Jack began to climb and Emma bounced and soon Jack was down up and down from the high window soon to be joined by Emma as they both climbed up prepared for the jump and then took off even as they told us that they were not allowed to do this. The scene emerging upstairs evolved

until people began to assemble for a collection of family photos.
