Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit this weekend. It was nice to see them. They came all the way from Virginia. They went to the lake with the rest of the family. Aunt Patty brought them down from Chicago.

Rhiannon and Aidan went to spend a couple of nights with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Patty up in Chicago this week. It is just as well because the guys came to rip up our bathroom. Mom has a plan to remodel everything in the house. It sure is a mess. We got ceiling fans put in today and Joey thinks their really cool.

Dad took a couple of videos that are posted on YouTube. As he posts more videos it may get harder to find the new ones. You can sort by date added and that should help you find them.

I'm adding one here.

We also found this weird eggplant.






Aidan added eyes to it.

Baseball and Bathrooms

Aidan went to his first professional baseball game on Thursday night. Dad took him to see the White Sox play the Kansas City Royals. The White Sox won. They had allot of fun. Aidan made a sign, but it didn't make it onto TV. Amazingly, both the Sox and the Cubs are leading their divisions. I'm sure that won't last. You can see a video of Aidan at the game on YouTube.

Mom finally found someone to finish the bathroom in the basement. It's been kind of a mess for a while. Mom is going to be so happy with it. We call is the boys' bathroom, because Dad and Aidan use it. Dad and Aidan painted it this weekend and on Monday it'll be finished. Aidan picked out the color. The color is called "Big Swamp" and Mom thinks that's the perfect name for the boy's bathroom. I'm not sure how they'll decorate it this time, but I'm voting for frogs and alligators. It was John Deere, but that's gone now. I'll put up a picture when it's done.

Vacations and Olympics

This is a beautiful sunset at Lake Barkley in Kentucky. The family went there last week.Lilly and I were dumped at a kennel for five nights. They said they had allot of fun. Lilly and I were okay, but I wish we had gone. Dad took a couple of videos of Joey that you can see on his YouTube site.

Here are a couple of photos from vacation.





Here are Joe and Joe hanging in the pool.







Here is Aidan acting too cool.










And Rhiannon and Luke after dinner.

We've been watching the Olympics. We saw Melanie Roach, a female weightlifter, this morning who is 33 and has three kids. One is autistic like Joey. You can read more about her and her son Drew at her website.

Birthday and Ducks

It was Nano's birthday a week or so ago. we went out to dinner with Nano and Papa (well Mm, Dad and Joey did... I stayed home and Rhi and Aidan were at camp). Joey took a picture of Aunt Val and cousin Luke during dinner.














Then yesterday everyone went to the beach and swam and fed ducks.
