Max video

Please excuse the goofy sounding woman. :D

When he wasn't looking.....

Poor #9...how will he get any attention?

It started with Lucy loving on Max while he was hanging out on the floor watching the ceiling fan go around. Note: why waste money on a baby gym when ceiling fans can keep a baby entertained for a little while.



Then Ben had to get in on the act....



Then Emma came on over....


This poor baby #9, everyone is always too busy to love on him.



Yes, the big boys hold him and play with him too but they aren't overly fond of having their pictures taken. I'll get 'em eventually :D


Max loves to stand. If he is fussy the one (usually) no fail way to make him stop is to stand him on your lap. This is the face he makes and then 'dances' like the Gopher from Caddy Shack.


And here are his K-Family blue eyes, that they all (must) have.


While Max is thoughtful and intense. He does have a lighter side :D

Please say a prayer....

for the repose of the soul of our friend and neighbor, Michelle. And for peace and comfort for her husband, Andy and her children, Travis, Lexi and Haley. Michelle was a wonderful woman and she will be missed.

The pictures speak for themselves....

Almost August

The boys will be home in a few hours, hopefully the washing machine repairman will come and fix the washer before they get here. I don't relish the idea of stinky boy/man clothes sitting around until next week.
Lucy, Ben and Emma had swimming lessons this week and they all did very well. By the end of the week Lucy was no longer negotiating with Coach J. about where, how long and when she would put her face in the water. Ben went from being a non-swimmer to being able to swim(crawl) the length of the (small) pool. Emma was already an OK swimmer, but now she knows a few strokes and doesn't rely on swimming underwater so much.
I've been insanely busy this past month helping arrange a homeschool conference and getting us ready for next school year (and wrapping up last year). Ian is enrolled in a virtual academy and Katie will be taking some dual credit classes. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. It's absurd. Oh and I have a newborn!
I can't really complain about Max, he is really a very easy baby. He gets dragged hither and yon and just rolls with it. He is about 11.5 pounds and it shows, the boy has some serious chub!

I wish this picture wasn't blurry.
