Great Grandparents

I want to take a moment to honor Katie's great-grandparents Charles and Kathryn Genter. Kay sent a cute outfit she made for Katie last week and we will have a picture up on this site pretty soon of the outfit. Katie has been blessed to be born in a strong extended family with loving grandparents and great-grandparents. Its more than we could ask.

Grandma Kay says: "Go Eagles!!!" Posted by Hello

Cronkhite Family Visit

Jonathan, Carrie, Gabrielle, Sophie, Caleb and the new unborn Cronkhite babe came to visit a couple weeks ago. Gabrielle became totally smitten with Katie. Here are a couple pictures of all the kids together. Never thought that Jonathan and I would be getting together in our mid-30's with our wives and kids!

The Latest on Health

Ash, Carrie and Katie have all been diagnosed with whooping cough. And Scrapple has fleas. All you hear around here is coughing and scratching. Scrapple's getting a flea collar tomorrow. The rest of us will get by.

Poppy's MS150

Maybe he's 60 now, but Poppy is still in the best shape of any 'non-yellow lab' in the family. Last weekend while The Papa was facing the waves, Poppy cycled 75 miles on Saturday and 75 miles on Sunday. I forgot to ask him which church he went to on Sunday morning...

New Tricks

I haven't learned any new tricks recently, but Katie is learning all kinds of stuff. She even stands up sometimes for a few seconds (until she realizes that she's supposed to fall!).
