the wee one

 

What we have here is the newest and possibly the most smiling McMurdo family baby. He is the first of his generation and the son of my niece, Katie.

This is the first trip to Atlanta during which I had the chance to spend quite a bit of time with him. Did I say that he smiles? Maybe smile is not the right word. His entire face lights up. When the edges of his mouth begin to move upwards, his eyes grow wide, his head tilts back, and suddenly you are presented with a full facial, whole body, grin.

But, not in this picture. All of the grinning wore him out and he decided that his MiMi’s chest was the perfect place to lay his head and look at what his Uncle Tim is up to.

Tuesday, Josh and I visited the Michael C. Carlos Museum located on the Emery University campus in Atlanta, GA.  It's a little known jewel of a museum with one of the best antiquities collections (European and the Americas) that I've seen in the U.S. 

The last time we went, was when the kids were about twelve or so. We had lunch at Everybody's Pizza and then crossed the street to the museum. Unfortunately, Everybody's is no more, but the museum is still there, bigger and better than ever.

 

Going to the Carlos!

 

The building was designed so that both the exterior and interior leave you with the feeling that you are experiencing an ancient temple.

The museum was a great way to top off the afternoon after a day at the Aquarium and lunch at Willy's. You know that both Josh and I were packing cameras every step of the way. It's our thing.

Have a great day folks.
