Naked Time!

We hope you enjoy this picture of Allan and Acer's "post-bath naked time". He really enjoys his baths. The best baths are the ones he takes with one of us... Those are so much fun! Summer is going well here! The garden is thriving... We've eaten all kinds of greens, strawberries, and our first peas came a few days ago. Tasty. We've visited friends, gone for walks, played lots of volleyball, gone swimming in the pond, and we even went to our first concert at Shelburne Farms. It was Michael Franti and Spearhead. Acer had a great time dancing with us and friends... We hope that all of you are enjoying the summer as well. We will be leaving for the lake to spend a little 4th of July vacation time with friends and family.

A little update. Acer is now laughing! He likes bouncing on the bed, tickling, funny noises, and other people laughing with him. He's currently enjoying chewing on his hands, toys, our fingers, clothes, really anything he can get in his mouth (we think he's started teething) He's growing pretty fast. He's probably about 15lbs by now... Wow!

Take care,
Mish, Allan, and Acer

Stuck in Kansas City!

48 hours after being stuck in Kansas City, we are home and happy, but not without feeling a little angry about what we had to go through. For those of you who didn't know, we went to Missouri for a Thompson family reunion! The reunion was so much fun. We were at the family farm in Marshall, Missouri and spent the day and evening with family, fried food, and fireworks! It was fun to meet all the Thompson clan and take our first airplane trip with Acer. He was fantastic! He kept all our spirits up when we got stuck in Kansas City for 2 days due to weather, mechanical issues, and down-right rediculousness of the KCI airport and United Airlines. This picture wasn't taken this weekend (our camera batteries died), but I think it speaks for how we (Mish, Allan, Keith, Suzy, Loren, Kristen, Otho, and Louis) feel about Kansas City International Airport and United Airlines.

Happy Summer,
Mish
