The Turner Family

Ok, I know it was last week, but here it is.

On Fathers Day Kevin got breakfast (fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, strawberries, oj and milk) in bed with the Sunday paper. The day before we decided that we were going to go on a picnic with the other Turners, Dick and Joyce and Brian, Eryn and Liam. So after breakfast, we packed up the car, stopped for some fried chicken and potato wedges, and headed for Veterans Park. It was a beautiful day and it was fun watching the boys enjoy themselves. It was so nice we went from there to the community pool in Tuscany near Dick and Joyce’s house. It was so fun taking the little boys into the water! We have little inflatable chairs that will also keep them shaded, so they are completely pampered! What a life! All in all I think a good day was had by all and many fun memories were made and traditions started!

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers in my life! (and Happy Birthday Joyce!) We love you all.

We have taken Braden swimming a few times now in an actual swimming pool and he LOVES it! We knew he likes his bath, but he loves water in general. He splashes and kicks at times but then also just floats calmly. When I put him under the water he just comes back up blinking his eyes and looking a little startled. No coughing or crying! What a good boy and already a little fish.

Well, here I am on my last day here in Bangalore, India after a week and a half.  It has been quite a trip.  I had a great time and met some great people but it was EXTREMELY hard being away from my family and I can’t wait to be home with them again.

I’ll write again soon about my actual trip and about the crazy traffic and driving, but for now I’ll link to some photos I took and a video …

The photoset is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kmturner/sets/72157604143468920/

You can get a small feel for the traffic in this video.

Isn’t he the cutest and smartest little boy you have ever seen! (I’m just slightly biased, can you tell!)

Kevin and I got a new camera last week. It’s a Canon EOS Rebel XTi digital SLR. I’m sure he can tell you all the details about it more than I can but it means he has a new toy to play with! Since I’m the only other human in the house, he takes my picture all day! Most get deleted, but I thought I’d post a few of the more fun ones.

Gotta’ love the new camera!
