So we were going to wait until Rachel had our baby, but since that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon, I guess I will report. Life is more complicated lately as I ended up spraining my ankle playing hoops. Luckily I didn't break it because it was a bad one, and quite painful. Rachel is ready to have our little Violet, but nothing is happening. Josie has learned how to say "baby," but I'm sure has no idea what is about to happen in her life. I think she'll like her, she seems to like small furry things. Speaking of furry things, Keena tolerates Josie and is actually quite kind considering the abuse she receives (from Josie, not me of course). Josie is going to be Little Red Riding Hood for Holloween. I am going to borrow my brother-in-law's wookie suit (yes, he has one too), and go as the "Big Bad Wolf." Not that my "silver-back" gorilla/abominable snowmanster suit that Mom made me wouldn't do the job swimmingly, it's just that this one is more wolfish, which is important. I tried to convince Rachel to where my suit and go as an abominable pregnant womanster, but she declined. Maybe if the baby doesn't come she'll give in and play the womanster role. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Hey, a man can dream can't he. Happy Holloween!

Dan, Rach, Josie, Violet and Kee
