Holy Smokes Batman! More photos:

Here are more photos that go with the previous post. It took another day to get these online as when we were finishing this up last night a BAT flew into the den when we had the door open to get some fresh air!! This was followed by screams (from Lisa) as we fled the room but had the smarts to shut it in there to keep it from getting into the rest of the house. We were even more freaked out than we would have been as Jeff's sister Kathy had just had a bat in their house and apparently you can be bit by a bat in your sleep and not even know it. The bat was released before getting it tested so there whole family had to have 3 series of multiple shots and we didn't want that!

Jeff hatched a plan to catch the bat in a box and slide a board under it as he spied it just sitting on the wall. This plan was almost foolproof except that as I was opening the den door so he could take the bat outside I saw that the board had a hole in the bottom. Before I could say anything it squeeked and scurried out of the box and flew right toward me while I was holding Iris! I screamed and quickly closed the door of the den again (trapping Jeff in the den with it flying around. The bat then flew over and crawled up behind the window blinds. Luckily, we had the window cracked and it crawled between the window and the screen. So Jeff slammed the window down trapping it between the window and the screen (during which time the photo was taken). Then he pried the corner of the screen off and eventually the bat freed himself. No shortage of excitement here in Michigan!

Yes, this silk pillow will do just fine!

Another gathering at Peter & Kathy's fabulous house! Mitch & Chris having a cocktail, Christina, & more peek-a-boo this time with Zoe too:

Iris is the best dressed one at the party as she keeps getting showered with cute babywear and of course loads of attention:
