Every Family Needs a Baby
I periodically post a photo of our grandchildren on this blog - which is otherwise reserved for art on paper and fabric. Today is such a day. We have 6 grandchildren and our baby turned 1 last Tuesday!
We took care of him every Thursday last year (and picked his big brother up from prechool mid-day) and rejoiced over every milestone of development. He is a child who continually smiles and he now stands and takes several steps at a time. This photo was taken Sunday morning after he slept over at our apartment. My husband and I took him to the Central Park Zoo for the first time.

What a beautiful child, not really a baby anymore! But I guess he'll always be your baby. I can tell how much you enjoy your grandkids and I'm sure it's mutual!

Dear Dr. Levin:
I was a student of yours at Einstein (originally class of 2010, now 2011 for an extra MPH last year at Hopkins). You showed me your website when I came to visit you at the office. Hope all is well! Loving your water-colors and your unique style!

How precious, it does not seem possible it was a year ago you headed to England for her early arrival!! Such blessings.

ps love your negative space work - quite interesting and certainly forces a different approach.
