With James in Front of Aspinwall Hall

James and Stella Law Visit Rebecca!

Rev & Mrs Law

Coming all the way from New York, driving almost six hours each way, our good friends the Laws visited us and Rebecca today. It was good to have experienced parents with us, because they knew just what babies do and want and behave at this "oral" stage.


We took James and Stella to a delicious dinner at A & J Chinese Restaurant and also to a bakery to obtain some deserts for the long haul drive home.


While Steve was in faculty meeting, they saw the Assyrian reliefs in the library, were introduced to our neighbor, and saw the campus on a gorgeous day! We love them dearly and appreciate their wholehearted support and the bracelet with bells they gave our daughter! CEC

Walking On Her Own!



We are pleased and proud to report that as of last evening and today, Rebecca is up and walking around on her own! Amazing! At the MTS dinner last night, she was up and chasing Steve around the room. Today, her sitter Elliot reported that she loves to walk and run! We need gates! Much love, --CEC
