Uncle Kelly's Visit

Parker just loves his rocking chair. It was my Uncle Bruce's (my mom's older brother) when he was a kid. It was given to him by his grandmother. It was at my grandma Rose's house when I helped my mom clean some of it last fall, and asked if I could have it for Parker.
My brother Kelly came to visit for a few weeks. Parker adored his Uncle Kelly. They became quick buddies, and Parker was very sad when he couldn't find Kelly in the office, or the guest room after he was gone.
Parker loves to have milk out of his sippy cup now. He will only use the kind with a straw. He thinks he is too good for the kind you actually have to tip up and sip out of.
This is Nona reading to Parker. Nona is my friend Stacey's mom who was visiting from Connecticut.
Parker liked to help Kelly with his computer stuff. He became a pro at banging on the keys.
Kelly crawled through Parker's house and then had it high centered. Parker thought that was pretty cool, after looking at Kelly with a questionable face.
My good friend since we were four, Karissa showed up for a weekend in July on her way home from a business trip in Chicago. It was great to catch up with her.

We were very Hoosier one day, and set up all our kiddie pools in the backyard of Stacey's house. There was also a slip and slide made out of tarps. Yes, I participated.
Parker, shockingly enough left Kelly's shades on his head for a few minutes. We have a picture of Parker in these same shades when he was three months old. Sadly, we will not be able to keep the tradition up, as the shades were swept off Kelly's head at the lake.
Parker has Kelly's phone. If you want to become Parker's best friend, all you need to do is give him your phone. :)
