Last Week of June

This one is from May, but I felt like throwing it in...
Lukey, Bennett, Shay

My step brother came back from Asia for a short while (crazy man); his 94 yr old grandma was delighted to see him!

My grandparents (left) took a train tour through the Rockies that happened to have an over-night stay in our town...Impromptu BBQ!
(My parents, centre and my dad's parents, right)

My grandparents and their traveling companions. Sally (centre) was adopted at the age of nine from Guyana, while her parents (right), who had already raised four children, were in the country doing missionary work. Quite a remarkable story. Could you imagine waiting nine years to have a family to call your own?!

Bennett and his fantastic Kindergarten teacher, Mrs Stuckey, on the last day of school...

Playing with a wooden top that his Auntie Laura bought for him in Mexico...

Trying to see who could swing the highest: I think it is a tie!
(Derek, Laura, Bennett)

Serious Dog Walking: Look how tiny Bennett looks in this picture!
It helps that his uncle is 6'6"...

The Maple tree my grandfather backed his car over last fall seems to be making a spontaneous come back...

Miss K thinks that Nana's dog is her own personal pony...


Puppy Love!

The Archer (my big bro) and his Offspring...

Spudly did not want to partake in this photo shoot...
Miss K, Spudly, Bennett, Sunshine M

AN UNDERWEAR AFFAIR
(Spudly did not get the memo and showed up with the lone swimsuit...)
Miss K, Spudly, The Niece!, Sunshine M, Bennett

K8 @ 8 months...

My nephew (sans tears), Sir Spudly Grrr!


ALL FOUR (bio) COUSINS TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Not one of them looking...

Someone snuck out of this shot...

The best I could get, necklace eater and all!

Bennett (7 yrs, 2 mos), The Niece! (3 yrs, 8 mos), Spudly (21 mos), K8 (8 mos)

I'm putting my money on the one that answers to ''Turkey Liver''

Heza: Are you a Turkey Liver?

The Niece!: Yes!

Heza: You sound like you really believe that!

The Niece!: Yes!

Heza: Who's your favourite Auntie?

The Niece!: I don't know.

Heza: You don't know?

The Niece!: I don't know. (thoughtful pause) Are you a Turkey Liver?

Heza: No. I'm a Turkey Liver's Auntie.

**************************************************

Heza: Are you going to have a baby brother or a baby sister?

The Niece!: I'm going to have a baby sister!

And a few minutes later...just to double check her...

Heza: Is Mommy going to have a baby?

The Niece!: Yes!

Heza: Is it a girl baby or a boy baby?

The Niece!: It is a girl baby!

The child has spoken. Being as it is a toss-up at this point, I think I will side with her.

**************************************************

After rocking the sweet thing to sleep tonight, my desire to allow blood back into my arm won over my better judgement and I put her down on the couch. She instantly awoke from her ten minute power nap and delightfully kept me company until a quarter to midnight, when she fell asleep here:



Her new baby sister (or brother) is due the day after her 3rd birthday.
