Hi there. It's 2008 and I'm off to the races. Today I visited the Washington Monument. To keep warm while waiting to go to the top, I ran laps.

We have a lot of catching up to do. For one thing, I spent Christmas on the Cape with my cousin Oliver. Look how big he's getting!

Here he is with his mommy, my aunt Bridget. They're so British. What a treat it was to see them!

I also got to spend quality time with my Grandaddy. Here we are enjoying a crisp December day on the Cape.

And of course, I also got to see my Meme. Here she is with Oliver.
