Word Problem

Jim was heading into the village when he met Yuri. He said, "Today is my Birthday. Would you like to know how old I am?" Yuri wasn't sure. Jim said, "I am 128 times older than my son, Jack, and 14.2 times older than my daughter Allison. Allison is two years older than Jack. " Yuri looked puzzled. "Ah, I see you are having trouble solving this one" said Jim. "I forgot to tell you. My age rhymes with 'HirtyTwo'". Yuri still looked puzzled. "Oh, also, I am one year older than my mom was when she was 31". Yuri just sniffed Jim. "Funny", said Jim." I thought black labs were smart."*

Robert Makes His Debut



Robert's first week brings us a photo album featuring The Many Faces of Robert

He has been a busy little guy this week adjusting to his crazy baba and sleepy mama.

To relax, he took a little vacation to the hospital to sit under the bili lamp for his jaundice. He is now nice and tan.

Do you think he is looking for the microphone so he can start singing?

We love this little guy.
