Babies new and old...

Our friends, and Meg's godparents, Jonathan and Tracey Van Hook, welcomed their first child today. Andrew Tate Van Hook weighed in at (prepare to wince) 10 pounds 11 ounces. Mom and baby are doing fine after the C-section!

Our little one went mobile the Saturday before Memorial Day, and isn't too far from going to just 2 wheels.

Our daughter is at her first sleep over camp, from yesterday until the 6th. House is oddly quiet. I'm enjoying that, but still miss her.

The saga continues...

Continuing the water theme, we went out on the Vinsons boat for a short excursion, then docked at Calhoun's on the River for dinner. That's where we had our rehearsal dinner.

Goober says "hey"

Meg was in a skit at Tate's Camp last Friday.

They've started the destruction of the Jumbotron. The new one will be much bigger, in fact second in size to only (and this pains me) the one at Texas. The old screen was about 1/3 of the board, the new one will be the whole board.

New fascade, too. Lot of work to do in 2 months.

I'd hide my stomach behind my kids, too, if I could. Need more kids.

Meg's friend Grace came along to keep her entertained.

Matt wasn't sure about the ocean, but he liked the sand. Tasted good, apparently.

Cruisin' for babes

We're Back!

It's been a hair-raising month and a half! This is actually Meg, on a field trip to the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge. For once that mussed hair was useful!



We finally had a service for my mother on January 31st, with a nice group of family and friends in attendance. She was cremated, and her ashes put next to those of my sister Barbie in the Columbarium of the Church of the Ascension, where Hope and I were married.

I'll post some more pictures, just as soon as I find the camera!
