My cousin Ira's girlfriend painted this picture of Lionel, Marty and Me from Labor Day weekend 2006. I'm not sure how Lionel is going to deal with the baby. I'm pretty sure he'll want to play with all of the baby's toys, considering he stared at the stuffed animal that Stace got the baby that was on the coffee table for about an hour... He couldn't figure out why he couldn't bring the stuffed animal into his bed to decapitate it and tear out the stuffing. The only thing I'm concerned about is the excessive licking. Barb has reassured Lionel that he will not be left in the dark once the baby is born by taunting him with pictures of babies and telling him he'll soon be second.
Lionel is headed to a dog "hotel" this weekend for the first time while we're in Florida, details to come...
