Investigating Summer 2010

Enjoying the final few days of summer at his school, Lil' Karl ponders everything from self-portraits, to using a typewriter to playing in the sun. (more to come...)

Milwaukee Musings

Hanging out at Uncle Diane and Aunt Marty's place was swell. The food & drink were plentiful, the company was grand and when it came to just lounging around, Lil'K had one of the best seats in the house.

Can this kid get any cuter? I mean, all prejudice aside, I don't know if I've ever seen such a beautiful baby boy.

The Luckiest Day of Year!!

While Mamma Ceph and Pappa Ceph were on a weekend retreat, Grandma and Grandpa looked after Lil' Karl. The weather was a bit on the 'warm' side so it seemed like the perfect time to sog-up some diapers (aka- take a swim, splash around... whatever you want to call it).
Isn't he (the baby, not the guy with the beard) the most cherubic thing you've ever seen?!?

That's a LAKE?!?

Lil' Karl and Momma Ceph take a stroll along Lake Michigan during a trip to Milwaukee for Thanksgiving. (Oh yes, it was cold.) The 'Professor' (as Lil' Karl's babysitter likes to call him) looks on and ponders such questions as "How come Mom doesn't have to wear a hat?" and "Who honestly believes that is a lake? I mean, honestly, come on!"

Aunt Fran's Return

Today marks the return of Aunt Fran as she decided to visit us here in 'Central America' and leave the hustle and bustle of our nation's capitol behind (especially on the same weekend as the 4th of July). She also mentioned something about wanting to meet her 'new-phew' for the first time or some such blather... (I think she just wanted some really good BBQ.)

On a side note, when an infant is sleeping on you this deeply, you really can't help but relax and watch the rest of your problems or distractions just melt away. Wow, this kid has a gift! I wish I could hold him like this forever...
