I always think that Amy should be a model for Crest Whitestrips. Just look at her perfect teeth!! (I'm sure she'd give the credit to our favorite dentist.)
Everyone always thinks Kevin and Charlie look like brothers. What do you think?? (P.S. This is an opportunity to leave a comment instead of looking at the blog and not telling me!!) :-)
Baker was fearless on his new swing. I told Kevin to stop pushing him so high and reminded him that Baker is still little. Baker heard me and protested, "I am a big boy!! Faster Daddy!"
View of the farm - looking toward the pond/lake.
Another view of the pond/lake. The little pump house has sunflowers growing beside it.
Cody and Emily - the happy parents-to-be. I really hope the baby has hair just like Emily.
This is a photo of Shona driving her new Mustang convertible holding her dog, Indy Bell. You can't really tell but Indy is wearing a very fancy leopard print dog dress. 
This is a photo of Shona's back yard. It looks like a park. Very big (hard to tell in this pic) and beautifully landscaped. She's tearing out her koi pond and making a fountain that leads to the pond...very impressive.
Baker waiting impatiently for his Chips Ahoy cookies.
We became friends with a man who was apparently an athlete wrestler person at OSU about 40-45 years ago... wow did he have a lot to say. I now feel like I've known him his whole life and could write a book on it. Other then that he was a nice person, and our day was AH-MAZING!
Proof positive: Annabel had so much fun with the shaving cream. She made gloves and boots.
(NOTE: I wish I could take credit for the cute 'art' idea but it was all Kristen.)
James Henry and Annabel after swimming...JH and Baker both had on floaty suits in the pool today. (Thank you Sam's Club and the George family...) They looked like little Weeble Wobbles.
Booty (bootie?) One and Bootie Two. The floaty suit definitely adds a little volume to the backside.
Baker had fun "hiding" in the laundry basket* this morning. *One of the few things that Kevin brought into the marriage. I only mention that because I would never buy a hunter green laundry basket...
We got an exciting phone call this morning! Emily and Cody Lukas (my nephew and his wife) are expecting a baby! Baby Lukas is due Jan. 12. We are so excited for them! I told Baker that he was going to have a new cousin to play with and he immediately said, "I go play date." So far so good with sharing the limelight. I'm taking recommendations for a 'grandma' name for my sister... How weird is that?! She's over the moon...completely in love already. 
This is what a really happy boy looks like.
