HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FREYA!!! Our favorite 34 year old child!

 

 Our first baby to be born in Germany - rather dramatic in almost every way!

Grammy visited us between Christmas and New Year's.  In addition to presents, she even brought the traditional Christmas feast - ham, Greek bread, cookies, etc. (not nearly so many airline/agricultural restrictions "back in the day")!

 Monica watching over her baby sister, who is asleep in a cradle that Grampy made.

 Taking Freya with us to a European field conference in France.  (Also, "back in the day" - where are the safety seats?)

 Freya's first birthday

 Even as a child Freya was looking for apples to process.

 I love music!

 Who is this new little guy?

 I love Legos!

 My first summer in the USA - corn on the cob!

At Grammy and Grampy's - the great suppliers of OshKosh jeans!

Freya's "space" has always been creative!!
