What a wonderful day of fun, family, and friends at the lake! Oh the swimming and water-gun-fighting and watersliding we did, and the food and fellowship--what a blessing of a day it was! Dennis had a gaggle of girlfriends to swim and play with, and he was the fearless leader on the neighbor's water slide. A highlight for him (among many): feeling baby Ian kick in Ellen's stomach. He remarked "you know, when they cut him out of your tummy, they'll need to use superglue on it. Or duct tape." We all agreed. After all, Ian is a scheduled c-section baby unless he decides to make an early appearance. It will be nice for Dennis to have another boy to play with in a few years. Hadden is going to be a great playmate very soon (he likes action figures, too), and then Ian will be coming right along to join them.
