Soccer boy (star)

Dad went for a visit to Dallas last week. Just in time to catch a major upset - and Hudson's near-hat-trick.

Dad reported:
Here is Lamplighter Fire star.
They won 8-3 and Hudson scored two goals. Very fun to see - Dad

Wow. New school, new team and Hudson's cleaning up.
And he wears that jersey like a star. Groupies grouping as I type?

Love to all

Schoolboy Hudson!

First day at Lamplighter!

And Chad reports:

See picture for Hudson's first day at the new school. He was so cute
-- the lady knew his name when he arrived and he was asking, "how did
you know my name?" -- answer - nametag on his shirt.

He was really happy to be there and ran in with his green dinosaur
backback -- that I think Aunt Courtney gave him.

Could we be collectively any prouder?

Yay school boy Hudson!

love
c (and Wyeth + Ruslan too)

belatedly...his world awaits

HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Hudson, happy birthday day to you.

We have a 4 year old of uncommon cuteness and stature in our midst who is ready for his biggest, rocking-est year ever...

With much love from all your fans, and your flaky aunt,

Happy 37th Linds

Little Linds, May Day at Shady Hill, c. 1984

You'd be 37 today. Chad + Hudson baked a birthday cake for you.
Hudson was accepted at the "Shady Hill" of Dallas a few weeks back so thought this photo of you in all your homemade-t-shirt May Day splendor was appropriate.

We miss you so much dear Linds. There are a lot of new little folks we would like you to meet. (I can think of one in particular but, really, there are many). Anyway, hopefully you know about them all and are looking after their wobbly passages.

And our bad news is a little bit of sunshine for you. We lost Grandpop but you, and Grandma, and mom and baby Steven, got him in your quarter. Look after him, look after us.

People we miss

Hugs from us all and happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday.
much love,

your sister (now a mom!) c

He's In! Onwards-ho...

Long since I've posted and for that I can offer as excuse only another little boy who's taken front-burner status in my life these past months.

But wanted to report the remarkable news that Hudson Stephenson Brown was accepted (as we suspected he would be) at the wonderful-looking Lamplighter School in Dallas.

Chad + Hudson have trained their sites on Lamplighter because it reminded Chad of Shady Hill School (in Cambridge) where Linds and I went and thrived. Lindsey thrived everywhere of course, would have thrived in a one room school house, but Shady Hill brought out her naturally-occurring sociability and roaming curiosity and worldly being.

Hudson will thrive too - sure thing.

Love to the school-bound boy.
