Baby Jack Comes to Visit!

So with a title like that, you would probably be expecting to see some pictures of a little guy by the name of "Baby Jack" (which, by the way, even his parents both "Baby" and "Jack" when referring to him), however, you will need to look very closely to spot the ONE picture I actually snapped of him during their visit. I am hoping to get some from my cousin who took many, many more than I.

My aunt Margy and Uncle Jerry from Spokane, WA came for a visit a few weeks ago. In addition, my cousin Mark, his wife, Liz, and their son Baby Jack from New York also came to town. Baby Jack was born just a few weeks before Henry in early December.

No visit of Uncle Jerry's is complete without a trip to the Museum of Transportation. He is crazy about trains and Amelia is about the only one who will listen to him ramble on about them anymore. We had fun at the museum, nonetheless, on one the hottest days of the summer thus far.

Amelia is constantly asking to climb trees and she just couldn't pass up this opportunity after spotting "a good climbing tree" on the museum grounds. Incidentally, a "good climbing tree" in her book only requires the tree to have a trunk.

Hey look, the one picture I got with Baby Jack!

My aunt Phyllis and Uncle John graciously hosted us for a day of swimming out in Innsbrook where they live. The kids had a blast! Amelia swam for THREE HOURS STRAIGHT! Needless to say, both kids were out before we even left the Innsbrook grounds. Such a fun time, though!


My cousin Mark visits St. Louis every July to teach a class at Washington University. He is a political science professor at the University of Rochester in NY. I am secretly hoping that Liz and Jack will join him every June from now on when he comes to St. Louis. They sure make the trip way more fun!
