Mr. Toothless

 Henry's toothless grin has returned. He lost his 6th tooth in early January. The last 2 teeth he lost were the giant top center ones (or in technical terms, the upper central incisors). Good thing it is not corn on the cob season.
 We finally got a Stir Crazy.
My sister Jennie LOVES this thing. Yahoo, for less microwaved popcorn.

 They call themselves the "Illini Lumberjack boys".

 Henry read this entire book to me at the library. I could have sat there all day listening to him read. It was a comfy spot too.
Henry testing out his "chops". He was surprised to learn that Aunt Jennie once played the trumpet. This was at the Instrument Exchange in Batavia. It's a nice music store where you can buy new or used instruments and they provide music lessons too. They have a lot of string instruments including my favorite, mandolins. After several tries, Henry did get a couple toots out of the trumpet. Joe tried it too and found it quite challenging.
