Middle Names

We had a fun time this week as my brother and his family were in town. We were talking about names with Claire and what were her first middle and last names. Once she figured out the first middle and last name thing she went downstairs to talk to her cousin. She asked him his "second name" and when he was confused she said "you know the one they use when they are mad."

Rushforth House Update.

Interviewed in San Antonio in the packaging research department. Only one communication since the interview.

Preliminary Interview in Kalamazoo Michigan for Stryker today.

Still looking at options.

We are doing well and enjoying our time in Wichita. The kids have been doing swimming lessons for the last two weeks. Monday through Thursday. Rachel graduated to a Guppy and Claire remained as a Polliwog. We will continue their swimming lesson until the 27th of June Monday through Thursday. Pictures to follow after they have been developed.

Aunt Sister???

Craig and Rachel were sitting at the dinner table talking about family relationships. For example: What do you call your brother-in-laws wife in Spanish? Rachel then turned to Craig and the following:

Rachel: Why do people in China call their family aunt sisters?

Craig: I don't know anything about China. What are you talking about?

Rachel: When people die in China they call them aunt sisters? (Think Mulan)

Craig: Not aunt sister...An-cestors.

Zoo Day

I had been looking at way too many jobs for way too many hours so I took a day and we went to the zoo.

Me being too lazy to rotate the image of Todd climbing on the viewers.

The new lion cub

If you look in the background there is a wallaby bouncing around

Same Wallaby right under the bush.

Waiting for the tram

Just some random tram pictures

Katharine Pictures

Just some random Katharine pictures we have. She was using the toy as a pull up bar.
In the next pictures she was violently kicking and then grabbing her feet. Then finally sitting on her throne.

Claire Preschool Program.

Claire was a hoot to watch. She would get behind in the words and then wait for an action sequence to figure out where she was at. She would get so excited and smile and giggle because she would know where she was at and then keep going.
