Happy Birthday Victor!
This is the morning of Grandpa's 70th birthday party.

Victor is so old...
  • they had to call the fire department to put out the cake
  • he remembers when the dead sea was just feeling ill
  • he was the waiter at the Last Supper
  • that when people tell him he looks like a million, they mean it
  • even his teeth have wrinkles
  • when he went to school, history was current events
  • he went to an antiques auction and people bid on him
  • he farts dust

Daddy got his Daddy a green banana for his birthday. While he is pretty old, he's not old enough that he has to only buy ripe fruit.
Getting ready for a great week. Tomorrow we head up to Three Lakes!
Maddie is excited to see her Grandparents.
Last weekend was the biathlon at Beloit College. Mommy and Daddy were successful in both events.
Mommy and Hester were taking group picture above so here's a picture of them.
We had a big breakfast (Mary's Huge Breakfast) the next morning. Sarah and Amelie were there to support us.

And another giggle video.

Giggles and Almost Crawling

Maddie is starting to hold herself up more. She'll soon be crawling!

4th of July

We can't believe the 4th of July has already past! Sarah arrived on Friday and we immersed her in American culture right away. It was raining during the whole parade but this entry had a real backbone to battle the weather.
One of the more impressive entries was the dozen or so bad-mama-jama's on their bikes.
The Backlot's end float - the Hulk.
Mommy and Aunt Jean-Marie at the Freise 4th of July BBQ. All the Yuka was consumed before we even got there, but there was plenty o' Red Stripe mahn!
Dee, Amelie, and Sarah being entertained by Brendan Gibbons at the end of the night. Yes, that's right. We have TWO Au Pairs!Welcome Sarah!
Here is the full video of the Backlot floats.
