Grandma and Grandpa visit Mike and Jeannette

If you remember, Uncle Mike hurt his pinky finger so Grandma and Grandpa went to Champaign to visit and help out. The cat post needed to be wrapped with rope, Grandpa and Jeannette took care of this while Brownie supervised. He's down there in the shadow.


Here's a closer look of Brownie helping out with the hammer.

Shortly after that, Grandma was outside transplanting a plant. She's really good at it, so Brownie just sat close by and watched.


Mike really appreciated everyone helping out and hopes everything is going well in Quincy.

St. Louis

Uncle Mike and Aunt Jeannette took a short trip to St. Louis last Thursday and took Browning along for the ride. They didn't bring the camera but were still able to take a couple pictures with their cell phones.

Brownie was riding in Mike's shirt pocket all evening, here he is in front of a fountain outside of Union Station:


This is the view from our hotel. You can see a community garden right outside, Union Station on the right, and the St. Louis Gateway Arch all the way in back. Ask your mom and dad about the arch!
