September 10 -24 I was in Missouri visiting with Mycal and Stephanie as we impatiently waited for Baby to put in his/her appearance.
However, Emmuska, Liberty and I made good use of our time . . .
. . . reading "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and other stories . . .
. . . dressing up in Grandma's Hat and Glasses . . .
. . . creating a masterpiece for dinner, namely Seven Layer Dip. It was a hit in more ways than one! . . .
... the much coveted Brocolli Casserole . . .
and of course we can NOT forget the incredibly nutritious Missouri Backyard Stew.
In my spare time I took Self Defense lessons from Mycal. . .
. . . helped him put up a fence in the backyard. He dug the holes and I took the pictures . . .
. . . and then I watched as he entertained the children by blowing bubbles.
Just before I left I began to question if there really was a baby or if it was just one of Mycal and Stephanie's infamous tricks to get me to visit. It entered my mind that she had just put a soccer ball under her shirt so she would APPEAR to be pregnant.
I am happy to report that my suspicions were unfounded and there really was a baby. Samuel David chose to arrive 3 days after I returned home. If you would like to see pictures go to Stephanie's Blog
