Save the bees!

Mom knew what she was doing when she gave me honey when I was sick.

To see why, read this story or watch the video to the right of it (it presents the same information.)

One more.... (This one is pretty darrrrrn cool.)

Queen B!

Many of you have already met or at least seen pictures of my new niece Beatrice (Beatriz to the Portuguese family) Isabel Santa Rita. Either way, I thought I would formally introduce her to the blog before classes start and I don't have time.

I am looking forward to babysitting when she gets a bit older.

Until I learn how to upload videos I will post pictures:

I hope we didn't overwhelm Shaun by inviting ourselves and our dogs over. It was hard to get pictures because they were running around so much, but here are a few:
