Happy Mommies, originally uploaded by tadnkat. It’s now the second September since my wife and I came to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and with our 2-month-old baby Mackenzie, scaled up Maryland Heights overlooking the Shenandoah/Potomac confluence, and took the photo which you’ll now find on the October page of the 2011 Breastfeeding Calendar.
