Clams are part of a Clambake

Dear Robinsons,

I showed you how to eat a clam.  It's easy; just take that top part off (the "turtle neck sweater" as Brian calls it), dip it in the broth, then the melted butter and quickly eat it.  Don't talk about it.  Don't spend too much time examining it.  Don't ask questions.  You like clam chowder, right?  It's just a clam.

Welcome to New England!

Babysitting and losing at SORRY!

Peach jam

I'm not sure why I haven't made peach jam until tonight; it's delicious. I'm excited to have a stash in my freezer (and some to share).

Christmas at Costco

One word: wrong

Wicked smart (or not)

Some wicked smart MIT student spray painted on the stairs.  They should give students sidewalk chalk in their welcome packets.

The Dukes

I really wanted to get a photo of Erin and her three (awesome) brothers and a photo of Amy and her four (awesome) kids.  But I didn't so these will have to do.  Maybe I should learn how to use Photoshop...

Duke/Johnson wedding

I think...

...this photo should be in her wedding video!

Marjorie's cupcake

Smash it, Alden!

Hicks family at the Hartwell Tavern

Erin Duke's wedding

This is definitely one of my favorite photos that I took today.  Erin and Brandon are a striking couple and obviously crazy about each other.  It was nice to be part of their special day.  More photos to come.

Sushi class

Rei, Michiko, and Kaori showed 18 women in the ward how to make sushi tonight.  This was my creation and it was delicious (and dinner).

Why Vermont is so beautiful

It's because it rains.  A lot.  And at every ward campout.  This year it barely drizzled (which was nice).  I tell everyone that the reason Vermont is so beautiful is because of the rain.  [I liked this photo better in black&white...sorry you can't see how green it is.]

Camp Joe caterpillar

Cute campout story

I said, "I need to take a picture of Jared in front of the Jared cabin" and Joel said, "and one with me, the brother of Jared."

Rebentisch family photo shoot

Sister Rebentisch

She enters the MTC this week to prepare to serve her LDS mission in Moscow, Russia.  Sister Rebentisch gave a powerful farewell talk today; she is prepared and excited to serve.
