I finally finished Darin's quilt. I meant to have it finished for him way back on Father's Day, but I didn't, so it became his Birthday present quilt. I just kept adding blocks until I ran out of fabric. It kind of looks like South Dakota from an airplane.
Ben, of course, made himself right at home. This quilt is just his size.
This is the look on Darin's face when I was saying, "Get closer to Ben and give him a big hug - come on, closer, closer. He needs a hug." I don't really remember, but as I vaguely recall, I don't think Darin wanted to give Ben a big hug. I think he thought I was up to something...
AH HA! Success! This is exactly what I was going for - a big kiss from Ben complete with walrus whiskers.
I guess from the shot below you can probably tell that I couldn't talk Darin into scooting closer to Ben again to give him just one more hug. :)

Sports a wicked pirate costume - watch out Johnny Depp,
Comes out in a Trojan Horse to impress and endear USC Trojan fans,
And does as many push ups as the total Oregon score each time the team adds points to the board. I've seen this duck do 47 push ups in a row!
She really liked Jake. He loves kids, so they made a good pair. Ben's not so interested in kids. He's good with kids, but he can take them or leave them where as Jake can't get enough. If Sara could fit Jake in her pocket, he'd jump in for sure.
We watched the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Darin showed Sara how to be a good Steeler's fan - complete with a Terrible Towel. Nicke and I were quite amused watching Darin that night. He would get the first half of a swear word out, and then quickly change it to something like - apple butter or kelly clarkston!
I think I did a good job capturing this mullet in all its glory. But, more than being proud, I am humbled by the kill. One note of interest - his snack of choice was chili dogs. Makes sense. I spent the rest of the game with my eyes peeled making sure there were no others in the vicinity.
