A July 2000 Visit from Chris

Chris visited Albuquerque eight short days after Ali's arrival, and here are a few of the snapshots from the visit.

Although newborn Ali was the central focus of the visit, we weren't about to forget about Patrick. After all, his computer was broken and he sorely missed his daily chats with Elmo.

Barbara's brother Pat invited us all over for a pre-fourth barbeque. As you might guess, Sam is saying something like "Really, Dad, this is the way it happened..."

All of the goodies were laid out on the table on the deck, and Patrick stayed close by to make sure he got his fair share.

Barbara had to watch closely, because some of the chips came from a bag that had the word "Habanero" written on it. Patrick probably wouldn't have liked them very much.
