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

LOVE LOVE LOVE these pictures of the girls! Oh my so adorable! And I'm glad you posted them too because now I can go back and get them and e-mail some to Thom in Poland--he's getting a little homesick and likes to get pictures to make him feel better! For the record I am in Massage College and not WSU, I graduate and become a licsensed massage therapist in March 2010 :D
*for Steph when you read--the word verification was stings!
Okay...slightly chargrinned that my sister who isn't even related commented before me. Quite possibley the worst daughter in law you have (the flip side of being the best I guess...) I love how you summed up your trip! I might have to copy this whole thing down and throw it on a scrapbook page as is - it so well captures everything in a quick way. Love it!
by the way I'm glad you had a good time and am terribly sorry you didn't get to see little Samuel in person before you had to go home. Some day I'll make it up to you by getting pictures posted. ;)
