Photo of the Day: Happy Birthday and Welcome Aboard

My son Evan began celebration of his birthday last night at The Quarter on Roanoke City Market, which suddenly is one of Roanoke's best restaurants. Ev's family (pregnant wife Kara and six-year-old Madeline, right) were with us.

Here Maddy listens to her little brother (we think, but given the doc's track record on predicting, we're not at all certain) in Kara's mid-section. Oscar's supposed to make have his world premier Sept. 2, a Friday. Thank god it's not a Saturday. I don't want to miss a football game over this.

Below, Evan and Maddy ham it up. Maddy shows off her new haircut, one I really like.

OK, so none of this is art, but, hey, it's my blog.
