Swimming, Sunburns, Summer

...Alliteration in the title. I should have put "Sizzlin'" in there too. Oh, and I may be a bit biased, but that is one cute kid up there. So here's the lowdown from the Anoka Andrewsens: First off, I (this is Mike) finished my first year of school, and am eagerly anticipating a Summer of working part time for the Stearns county Public Defender's office. In the interview they asked me how I would fare with friends/family if I was defending potential criminals. My answer: "I kind of live in my own little world, so I probably wouldn't notice even if they disapprove." So I've got that going for me. As for news around the house, Grandma and Grandpa are out of their house and into ours, kind of. At least during the week they're staying with us (although Grandpa is kind of like a Superhero, and comes and goes as he pleases). Cameron predictably loves it. Every time the front door opens he drops everything and rushes to the stairs to see who it is. If Grandma tries to sneak downstairs he climbs down the stairs as fast as he can to tell her all about his day.

Replace the weird looking guy with the blindingly white legs with Grandma and his is basically what he looks like every night. He loves to talk with his hands. He gets into these rants where he sounds so serious like he is teaching you about the tensions of North and South Korea and then he'll start whispering--obviously to make sure Kim Jong Il doesn't pick up on his brilliant ideas. Then he screams. He loves to scream. To the people at church: Yes, the kid you can hear screaming from the other side of the building is ours. No, he is not unhappy. Yes, your kid is probably going to pick it up from him. We apologize.

So we've been to Lake George a few times in the last couple weeks, and Cam just gets braver every time. Not a lot to add (see the post below) except that we all got sunburned the last time. Cam wasn't so bad, he got sun screened. Dani got a bit of a burn. But guess who gets the worst? Something about having skin that is "white as the driven snow" and sun just don't go well together. Oh and we're starting to realize that another baby is really coming in a few months. Seriously crazy--definitely a mix of "What were we thinking?" and "Awww, let's look at more of Cam's baby pictures he was so cute and little and look how peaceful he was when he was sleeping." So that's been fun. What else? Oh, as you can see in that picture above (kind of) pregnancy still takes to Dani well. She's as beautiful as always, and is currently sporting Minnesota paraphernalia. I'm going to convert her to a Minnesotan yet. I've got two years left, so I like my chances. Also, she watched an entire baseball game with me today--without falling asleep! I've said it before and I'll say it again: She's a keeper!
