Checking the Blog

Here are some pictures from last Saturday, when I spent all day in a school-related field trip. Debbie's folks came over and they got a chance to take a look at the blog, which they hadn't done in some time. Debbie wisely captured some shots of the event and I think they truly belong on the blog.
Thankfully, if you take a close look you can see that the post they are looking at was from August 11th, right before the longest gap in blog history.

Cornucopia

These pictures come from two weeks ago, when we were last in Lansing to bid farewell to my brother and his lady. Josh took a job in California and they left earlier this week. We went downstate to see him off and these pictures were taken on Sunday as we were leaving.





These photos are brazenly stolen from my friend Meg's blog site. When we were in Lansing she was in town as well. I worked with Meg for a long time, she is a good friend that I hadn't seen in almost two years. So after some hullabaloo on my part I touched base and she was on the MSU campus (which was burned yellow from all the sun and no rain). I walked up with Jack and we hung out for a bit. It was a very nice time, jawing and catching up. A littlemore time would have been great but what can you do? She took these pics of Jack and I, I took the one of her and Jack and she recently posted them.
Blog cross-pollination!

This past weekend...

We had a couple of friends over with their babies last Sunday while I was in a class. Sienna was here, looking extra girly in her white ruffles. Gaelen and his mother Melissa came over, a first for the house, and he moved his arms and legs like crazy, coveting the geodome ball Jack was playing with. According to Debbie, Sienna has a very sweet new giggle and Gaelen impressed them all by sitting up fairly well all by himself. Jack enjoyed the company, but you know what? He loves other kids and he loves to see them and interact with them. I wonder if it comes from standing up with him in front of the mirror in the guest room (the pink Elvis room) and having him look at himself. It tends to bring out a HUGE smile in him. Which is really tough to get from Jack, believe me!





And then there were three...
