recent pictures from the Columbus diaspora

Here we are at a park, the baby is Chad & Deborah's Rachel, of whom Priska is very fond.
Not quite sude what was on her mind in this one. She has started being more theatrical lately, making faces and pretending things. Under Jess and Robert's tutalege, she has started dancing more too, which is extremely darling. Jess told me today we should put her into dance classes. Well I'm not sure about all that, but it is very delightful.
Mo, fertilizing the garden. Aram says I shouldn't put pictures of the kids naked on the web, but it's rather hard because they (and especially this one) often run around in their birthday suits or at least diaper-free. I think this is discrete enough. Mo and Priska have spent a lot of time in our little pool as the heat rises. They get along really well and enjoy spending time together. Priska talks about "Baaaaby Mmmmmmmo!" all the time.

Okay, this one was too fun to pass up. Note that Jess appears to be picking her nose. If the expression on Moravia's face comes through clearly, you will see that it is priceless. We went to the farm where Jared has been working last week, and they had goats, horses, cows, sheep, rabbits, etc. Moravia, who fears nothing, preached away at the steers for awhile. She was more interested in the cows than this one particularly friendly goat who kept sniffing her ear.

Fishing

So, I've taken up fishing in Walters pond. So far I have caught four largemouth bass, 17" 16.5" 16" and 15" plus one yellow perch that was 8".Here is a picture of me with three of the bass.

And a picture of the perch(a very stiff fish);

People and places

This is the house with it's new soffit! See how nice and green everything is! This is the house you want to buy, nestled in the Ozark hills. Just leave us a comment, and we'll have the realtor contact you.

Zion and Moravia are having fun with a busybox.

Priska, Moravia, and half of Mom, chilling out.

Garrett and Grandpa have a discussion over some photos.

More Mom, Mo and my other niece on the couch.

David, looking past his sheep toward his future with Goliath, Saul and kingship. Oh, I guess actually that is Zion, with his hair grown out for his staring roll in a film. I hear he is willing to accept other roles once his contract with this producer is complete.
