John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we were first acquent,
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonnie brow was brent;
But now your brow is beld, John,
Your locks are like the snow;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my jo!

And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.

My Uncle Jimmy told me about this poem. John is fair and brand-new but I can imagine that when he is 80 his wife thinking something like this. Plus he is my jo too!
More photos of my son. Aren't the slippers awesome. They are alpaca brought over by my little brother from Peru.
We are so happy that John is here. He was born on the 14
Just for fun I bought a underwater camera. I think I am going to try it again. Every image was pointed haphazardly so I knew the images were uncertain. A lot of chopped off heads as a result. Still so fun! The second photo is some of the ward kids jumping in all at the same time. In the last photo Kelly and I thought that Clara was holding her breath really well.
The first photo reminds me of a watercolor. Tomatoes are Kelly's favorite. They are not as good as my parents but way better than the store.
How long does jam last? What kind of drum is that? Doesn't Clara look patriotic?
It was so fun to have some of the family here for Clara's birthday. It was tight in our little apartment but we sure had a good time. Everyone coming made it special. I sure had a fun time making the tissue balls.
I sure loved taking photos of this little gal. Thanks again for the great time and all those granola bars Michelle!
The transition has gone better then expected but not perfectly. I still think she is to young but I wanted it to be well established by the time John gets here. I don't allow her to jump on it but she snuck it in.
Yesterday Clara, Laura, and I made them. I wanted to get a photo of Laura with them on but she went down for a nap instead. Clara is really into jewelry so when I told her we were making necklaces she was excited. She helped put several on but certainly ate more then she helped string. The second I put Laura's on her she knew just what to do. I think the color palette that the fruit loops come in is pretty when they are both wet and dry.
A week and a half ago Clara got her cast off. Life is good. I talked to Clara a lot for about a day before the event so she would know what would happen. That the saw would be loud but it wouldn't hurt and that they would cut it down the front and back. As a result she was perfect. The doctor looked so worried that she would cry her eyes out but she was awesome. It was interesting for me to recall the smells that came along with new and old casts. They brought back a lot of very strong memories.
