A Visit with Friends

Mid July we had two very special guests come visit us! Jerry and Claudia Root! Admidst speaking engagements and holiday plans in our corner of the earth, they so kindly worked us into their summer plans. Jerry dedicated Moses and delivered two excellent lectures on C.S. Lewis at our church while he was here. We thoroughly enjoyed showing them around town and exchanging book lists! The happy couple is pictured here at Queen Elizabeth Park.

Although we very much appreciated Jerry's lectures Moses appeared to be unmoved. Talk about a tough audience.

He did, however, find Jerry's beard fascinating.

He also really enjoyed feeling grass on his little feet for the first time at Queen Elizabeth Park.

Jerry and Moses hangin' out while Jerry practices being a grandfather himself. Congrats Jerry and Claudia on the birth of your own first grandkid!

Among other sweet gifts from the Roots, Moses received his first pair of very cool sunglasses which he sports quite willingly without complaint. (It must be his inner Californian?) I should also mention that Moses makes lots of noise. His favourite noises are like bird squawks and this picture really isn't complete unless you know that in this picture he's makin' some pretty serious squawks! (and he is also chirping loudly as I type...ah, silly Moses.)

Thanks again, Jerry and Claudia! It was great to have you here!

  1. I am cracking up at the pic of him sacked out in church. I bet you will look back fondly at that day in a couple years when he wants to jump up and down on the pews during the sermon ;-)
