Father's Day was sort of a non-event at our house. There were gifts, of course, but not the frenzy (am I remembering this correctly?) of Mother's Day. I always liked to buy Daddy clothing and since it was summer, shorts and shirt were what appealed to me. Back in the day, he liked really colorful sports/play clothes so I bought him a pretty pair of plaid shorts (to-the-knee shorts) and a matching coral-colored shirt. The first time he wore it, we were on a business and pleasure trip to Baton Rouge. When we got out of the car, it started to drizzle and we got a little wet. Not soaked. Now here's my story: on the return, there was a really bad odor in the car. After a few miles, he muttered to me, "Did you shower this morning?" and I indignantly said, "YES I DID THANKS FOR ASKING!"

Well, when we got home and he changed his fancy clothes, he started to laugh. The rain had released something in his new shirt and he was the offender. He laughed. I was still smarting so I only smiled.

We have taken some fun pictures of Barrett lately that I thought I would share. He made his first trip to our neighborhood pool today and liked it okay. He didn't make a big fuss either way. He was really tired, I think from the getting ready process, and was trying to take a nap the whole time. Mr. Scott and Brianne were there to witness the big event. After Barrett spent a few minutes in the water, he took a nap in the shade with Mr. Scott while I tried to work on my tan with Brianne. All in all it went well. We got some great pictures of him wrapped in his rabbit hooded towel when we got home. I only put one picture of the model shoot thoough. It was really hard to choose which one because they are some of the best pics we have of him. I definitely want to frame one.

Many of the pictures are of us having fun with Barrett around the house. Stephen's face is priceless in the picture where he is holding Barrett in the air...with a birdseye cloth diaper! The things that bring him joy scare me to death! I also attached one of Flick in Stephen's "Foof" chair that I think is hilarious. The picture of Barrett in the Pack-N-Play is of him playing with the Busy Box that he got from Aunt Katie. I love how you can see him looking in the mirror. It is in his crib now and we love it!!!

We will see you all in New Orleans next week. Enjoy!

Very saddened to hear of the death of Harvey Korman. He's being remembered as a comedian and the ultimate straight man although I don't think he ever kept a straight face with Tim Conway. I'd wager a few bucks that no one could have. Korman's attempts to do so became part of their shtick and it will be sorely missed. Below, I offer a bit of classic comedy this morning.

R.I.P., Harvey Korman.

And some other stuff from the backyard.
