Grandma didn't think at first this was a video, but Finn knew. Taken by Jane.

After being tired out by Grandma, he took a nap with Grandpa Neale

Finn was most interested in watching his mother take pictures.

Finn and Ros

Finnegan and his parents came visiting Monday, Feb. 28.

The sculpture at the HSBC bank downtown Vancouver... a giant pendulum that swings back and forth. Really nice.

Archbishop Katherine held a press conference at a church near Seattle Centre, which only drew one secular reporter, so our attendance was appreciated. She was quite impressive.

Also representing Canada was Mary Ruth Snyder of the Diocesan Post in Victoria, the Diocese of BC. We went to the Seattle Centre at one point, not because the Dalai Lama was speaking (he was), but to see the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Katherine Jefferts Schori.

Lots of interesting sessions and workshops. Here Matthew Moretz of Rye, NY, presented his YouTube blog, "Father Matthew Presents." He promotes the Episcopal Church on it, and it has received quite a bit of attention. Currently, he's doing a series on the sacraments.

It was an interesting hotel we met in, the Deca, which was recently refurbished in its original Art Deco style.

Last week, April 9-11, I went to Seattle to take part in the Episcopal Communicators annual gathering. It's much like our Anglican Editors Association, only a larger - 130 people instead of 30 (max.) The theme was "Emerging communications for an emerging church."

I love this photo - two mutual admirers. Taken Feb. 9 at 714 W. 24, when Finn was about 5 weeks.

Just a very nice picture of my daughter-in-law which Ros took.

Rob's birthday

This I took to show how my cell phone camera works, but it came out pretty good. We had cake one afternoon last week to note Rob's birthday. Eileen in the background.

After church - actually after Ros, Naomi, and I went to church. Nick had to study.

Here's the new fountain at QE park. Ros and I cycled there one lovely Sunday afternoon.

We played charades again at Easter. Here's Ben Elliott performing, Naomi and Nick on the couch, and Russell trying to think up a harder phrase for the other side.

Easter - and guess who got all the attention. Jane and her mother Maria spent it on Finnegan, who however had to share the limelight with his cousin Elliott.
