Afghanistan

These are some pics of my little brother Scott.
He's in a very remote area with 24 other guys and no running water - which means no showers. Every 15 days they get shipments of water. Natalie told him she was sending him a small inflatable pool to cool off in, but none of his buddies believed him. When it got there, his COs told him he couldn't use it because they couldn't waste the water. But then Scott told them he wanted to use it as a bath, they said OK, and now all the guys are lining up to bathe in it.

Maybe I'll have pics of that to post later.

He's on the left.

You sure you can handle the cute?

Last night George wanted me to read him this book:

First I asked him to name the animals, and he did. Then, expecting to hear "oink," I asked him what the pig says, and he answered, "Ahhh! It's a fox! Run away!"

T-r-o-u-b-l-e (aka George)

Not For the Squeamish

I'm serious, this is not for the faint of heart...

The other day Frank had a rather messy bowel movement, if you know what I mean. And for some reason, he did not want to wipe his bottom. He kept stalling and trying to talk his way out of it. He finally suggested, "How about this? I'll just leave it there and it will dry up and crack off on its own."

School's Out Forever!

Pete and my sister Natalie both graduated this spring, so we had a combined party for them.

They were a very happy couple.

George is 2!

This is Take-Me-To-A-Picnic Cake, with peanut butter frosting.
I made the same one for Frank's 1st birthday.

The lollipop was a present from Aunt Natalie.
