Aunt Jenny & Papa Stretch

Aunt Jenny & Papa Stretch stopped in for a short week with the babes on their way back to Oklahoma. Unfortunately, there won't be any summer lovin' this year; Stretch insists he has to get back to work on his portfolio:(.

(As you can see, nothing has changed!)

But Alexander enjoyed what little time he had with Mama & Papa's best friends!

Although we didn't do much during their rainy visit, Papa, Alexander & I really enjoyed seeing & joking with JB & Stretch. After reducing the Sheetz clerk to tears, JB put it best, "The Smith & M*rk*n comedy duo is back." How is it that she forgot her own last name? Hoy vey:).

Although where to place the blame is slightly fuzzy (but let's just say it was mama's fault), somehow Alexander got his hands on Papa Stretch's pocket knife. It had been a very rough, sleepless night and very early morning with the little man, and Alexander's sleepy-eyed Mama was watching the babe play without her glasses on in the dining room. Mama didn't realize the babe was playing with an sharp, open blade until she heard the scraping sound of the knife on the plaster wall... Hoy vey. I'll wear my glasses from now on while babysitting!

After that Papa Stretch would only let the babe play with harmless bubbles!
