Happy 4th of July!

Kenny is doing great. He had his first check-up this past Tuesday. The doctor said our baby is fine and that we shouldn’t trade him in for another one. Kenny at 4-days old has already passed his birth weight. He was 8 lbs 9 oz when he was born and at his 4-day check-up he was already 8 lbs 11 oz. They like to see a baby to get back to his birth weight in about 2-weeks. Kenny is very precocious I guess.

This is pretty much the position Kenny came out when he was born. He had his hand on his head and he had been moving round in the womb so much he put a knot in the umbilical cord.



The dogs are tired of us being home all the time.



A good way to take the energy out of Bogey is to hit golf balls in the backyard. We have to be a little careful or Bogey will run herself almost to the point of passing out.



We spent the 4th of July at Heather’s Dad’s house. It was a nice small gathering with Heather’s dad, sister, nieces, aunt, uncle, cousin, Pat, and Joanne and Henry (friends of Heather’s Dad and Pat). Kayla and Sofia switched rolls on the 4th, Sofia took a turn at being the cranky baby.

Hold your breath, Kayla holding Kenny. She really likes Kenny.



Sofia quiet for a moment.



This is a picture of a bush in Heather's dad's backyard. It's been rubbed down to a nub since bears have been rubbing themselves on it.



Yesterday Heather and I went to Nana and Granddad Lyon’s house for dinner. I still think it’s funny to see my mom eating pizza. It’s such a departure for her bland British palette. I don’t know what she would eat if she was still living there. We were amazed at the number of Thai and Chinese restaurants there when we last visited.
