THE BIRTHDAY BOY!!!


Kile turned one year old on July 11th. We were in Lincoln, Kansas, where Jeff was giving a talk. He was actually born on the day that Susanna, the pioneer mother featured in Jeff's first book, died during the Battle of Summit Springs. Nearly 100 people sang "Happy Birthday" to Kile after the talk, and he smiled and clapped his hands (that's his new thing whenever anyone sings). It was a wonderful day.


We stopped to get a bite to eat in Hays, Kansas, and Kile decided after being restrained in the carseat for so long to camp out underneath the highchair. His shirt aptly says "Mr. Mischief."


Daddy loves to make Kile giggle!


Kile better get used to making his own fun at fthe many orts of the west! This building used to be officer's quarters at Fort Harker.

Somebody got into the playing cards in the kitchen. I think he knows he's been caught!
