Jonty in hand-me-downs - from his dad

Mark sent us these two shots of Jonathan Tiago wearing a jacket that Mark had worn around the same age. We bought it for Mark on a trip to Holland in 1980 in the same week of March as Jonty is wearing it now - around the feast of Sint Joep (St Joseph, March 19). We remember because a nearby village celebrated the holiday with a village fair and market that we went to. Miriam managed to lose three helium balloons - crying pathetic, copious tears each time. The last one we lost just before getting to the front door. She has forgotten. I am still traumatized.
