Chloe’s big one!
13 Aug
This past weekend was our goddaughter’s first birthday. We had a big cookout and some tasty cake on Saturday afternoon. We took a few pictures of her eating her own little cake and some other ones throughout the day. She’s such a cutie!
The weekend itself was pretty relaxing. The weather and water were so warm that Leah actually went swimming 5 times from Friday night through Sunday afternoon. We saw quite a few meteors from the Perseid shower on Friday and Saturday night.
In other news, we need some R-A-I-N. It is so dry here in Marquette and all over the Upper Peninsula. The big wildfire to the east is 50% contained after more than a week of burning and it has consumed over 18,000 acres. Luckily there’s been only one unused cabin that has burned.
Have a good week!

Greg said that he showed his boss a couple of the Chloe pics and she said she would’ve known that Chloe was related to me even if he hadn’t told her, looking at the third picture in the top row. Looking at it, she does have my monkey ears! And I guess she does kind of resemble my first-year portrait. I’ll have to scan it so we can do a side-by-side comparison.
