One of the benefits about my surprise visit home was that I got to overlap for a day and a half with Mike and Amanda’s annual visit back to the Old Salt. We spent last Wednesday getting a family portrait taken, eating lunch, lounging, barbequing, and making faces. It started with Claire. Claire’s really into monsters right now. Either pretending to be one herself or making us be one. Here are her best mean faces:



Then Claire showed me her chubby face:

Which she forgot to change when I asked her to show me her sad face:

We took a picture together, too.

And then we turned the camera on Amanda and Mike and told them to make a mean face:

A joyful face:

Which then promptly transitioned into sad:

When we asked Mike and Amanda to show us their chubby face,

we discovered that Mike does a really good monkey face:

So everyone showed us their monkey faces:

The best and most exciting news, though, is that in about 8 months, Amanda and Mike will have a monkey of their very own! Yay!!

Claire is SO cute. Seriously one of the cutest kids I have ever seen. (P.S. She looks like you).
P.S. Congrats of being an aunt again…eventually.
That is disgustingly adorable. Hope all is well.
