Our annual pool party was a big success, as you can see from all of these photos. (August 1, 2008)

You'll notice there were no photos from yesterday? Well that was because John William ended up in an emergency room -- but as you can see, our handsome young man pulled through just fine..... actually better than the rest of the family, who were basket cases! Mom made sure to bring Johnny over to see all the grandparents so we could make sure he was fine with our own eyes -- and Daideo wasted no time getting his hands on his precious grandson.

Chas and his Noodle-Stash -- which is very similar to his Ham-Stash from Thanksgiving. Chas has a "stash" for every occasion! (August 3, 2008)

Johnny was kind of clingy today, which was just fine with Mom. Ssssshhhh, don't tell anyone, but I think she wanted him nice and close herself! (August 3, 2008)

I guess to sum up this day, all I can say is that we're all so thankful that Johnny is fine -- and that we have such a wonderful loving family that went through this ordeal together and are obviously stronger for it. (August 3, 2008)

And then, of course, we have Pirate Chas -- who gives the family plenty of laughs! (August 3, 2008)
