That is the shirt that Grandma Susie made, with little ducks and chickens on it. It’s very cute. Thanks, mom!

Uncle Gary, flowered

2006 August 6 · 3:38PM · Sunday

I think Ruby picked those flowers and gave them to Uncle Gary. (Sorry Aunt Thelma!)

Uncle Gary is such a character!

A classic mom pose. She’s so funny — reminds me of how her Grandma posed for pictures!

C and his treasure

This is a good close shot of C’s new shirt (made by Grandma Susie). Ducks, chickens, and sheep. Cute!

C-man

I really like this picture of C. The lighting is great for him. He usually has double-chins in pictures, and he looks a little more mature without one.

C gives Ruby a sip

2006 August 6 · 3:47PM · Sunday

They compete for our attention, and have inflicted a fair amount of pain and anguish on each other over the last 18 months, but sometimes C and Ruby are really sweet to eachother.

Ruby says “Water!!!”

2006 August 6 · 3:47PM · Sunday

Ruby screams “Water!” at C, as he takes the last sip. I guess she wasn’t done yet. He filled the cup back up and gave it to her after this, though. He can be a sweet big brother.

This picture was taken on Aunt Thelma’s nice screened in porch.
