KY State Fair -- Cockadoodle-doo!!!

Wilson accompanied his Grandpa, Dad and Mom to the KY State Fair, where he saw pigs have "eaties" (nurse), heard some loud (apparently scary) roosters, and rode in a car with Abigail, daughter of Maren (good friend from high school). In other big news, John still could not find the coveted deep fried Twinkie. There's always next year...

Gretchen and Wilson are TV stars!

What's more, a trafficking research report that Gretchen helped edit was just covered in the Courier Journal. Check it out at http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070823/NEWS01/70823056.

Editor's note: Wilson and Gretchen apparently did not make the final cut for that portion of the newscast (Thanks and apologies to Jason for pointing this out). They did make the five o' clock news. We could not watch the segment ourselves because our computer runs on OS X and the video required a Windows plug-in. Luckily the Wilson fan club, Grammy and Papa, videotaped the show on their digital camera. If we weren't both lawyers, we would post that.

Amelia and Wilson Conquer the Sharks!


We made the trek up north to Newport Aquarium to meet up with good friends Sean, Alyssa and Amelia. Wilson wasted no time in giving Amelia ("Meals") a new nickname --"Mimi"-- and cozying up to her to view fish, sharks, and of course, eat goldfish.

Summertime!

Our lovely friend Amanda took this shot of us at a wedding shower for our friends Geoff and Heidi. Wilson looks like such a kid in this shot.

It really feels like summertime, and not just the ordinary hot three months of work. We've been enjoying grilling out, swimming, visiting Madison, and the occasional stop at construction sites to watch "ecadahs" (trans. excavators). Wilson constantly asks for ottie (outside), pooh (pool), and dirt, and has legs full of mosquito bites and little scrapes to prove it. This 90-plus humid weather has me longing for fall, but for now I will revel in our little boy's wonder at the great outdoors and long hours of sunshine.
