Six degrees of Kevin Bacon...

Steve Buscemi in "The Big Lebowski" with John Goodman, John Goodman in "O Brother, Where art thou?" with George Clooney, George Clooney in "Ocean's Eleven" with Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt in "Sleepers" with Kevin Bacon...And so began our 3-hour car ride to Blue Grass, Iowa. It was a weekend of new experiences for Alex, Keith and I. Keith and I got to ride in Barb's brand new ATV all over the subdivision (it's much cooler than it sounds). Alex got to eat cereal for the first time on July 4th!!! Very exciting stuff, man, at least to us parents. And was Alex ever ready for it. I think he would have eaten a steak had I fed it to him. Barb also noticed that Alex's 2 bottom teeth started to come in, at 5 months! It was a very fun weekend and a blessing to get to spend it with Barb and Jesse and their family (Stormy, Jack & Ernie).
