The Iowa State Fair
Where you can see a bull weighing more than 1 ton! They had a sign next to him that told you where you could purchase his sperm.
It was about 90 degrees, but there was a nice breeze. Norah did remarkably well! She will enjoy it more next year when she is old enough to know what she is looking at.
It must have been something I ate...#2
Did I mention that it was in my belly button, between my legs, running down my back, and all over the sofa?
It must have been something I ate...
What a mess! Norah was trying to suck her thumb, and it must have gone in a little too far.
At Lake MacBride
We all went to the Raptor Center at Lake MacBride. It was about 99 degrees and 99% humidity. The rest of Alice and Danilo's tour of the area was in the comfort of our air-conditioned car!
Alice and Norah
Alice, Chiara's cousin from Desio (Italy), and her boyfriend Danilo are on a trip to the USA and they stopped in Iowa City to see Norah!
On Alice's visit, we learned the Italian word for pacifier, "chu cho."

After the Game
Norah was wiped out and takes a nap on Daddy, while Daddy tries to change history by re-playing the game on his Gamecube (he lost that one too).
Francesca Holds Norah #2
Norah was getting ready to go home. Her team, the Kernals, lost 6 -1. She was pretty disappointed. I think she may have lost some money on the game or something.
Francesca Holds Norah
Francesca and her friends were winding down a trip around the west. They stopped in for a few nights. At the game, Francesca took a turn holding Norah.

Chiara likes this picture because a similar picture was taken of me in Seattle at a Mariners game before I left for China.

Grandma Blows on Norah's Tummy
This changing table (formerly our kitchen table) is one of Norah's favorite places in the whole house. As soon as she lies down, she starts smiling and talking.
Norah Got Her Shots #2
She screamed louder than Chiara had ever heard her do before, but as you can see, she has a short memory and recovered quickly!
Marie Heidemann visists from Alaska
Marie, Chiara's assistant and friend from the University of Iowa has come back home from Alaska, to visit her family and stop in and say, "hello!" She is also expecting her own baby in September.
