Chrishael will be in Washington State with family for much of this time with very limited contact with Jeff. Please keep Jeff & Chrishael and the baby in your thoughts and prayer during this time. Go Navy!

Father's Day!
Today was Jeff's first Father's Day as a Daddy! Mommy got him a big Navy History book and two Clint Eastwood double feature movies. The baby got him a bib that says "I Love Daddy" and a Cardinals t-shirt that says "Dad 1" on the back! Thanks Mommy & Baby!
This is Jeff making his Clint Eastwood face.

Jesse James Museum
Today we went to the Jesse James Museum in Staton, MO. Here we were persuaded to believe that Jesse James was not killed in 1882 by his gang member Robert Ford, but that he lived to be 103 years old under the name J. Frank Dalton.
Chrishael doesn't know what to believe

Jesse James is alive!?!

Camping Trip!
Friday we went camping at the Arlington River Resort (http://www.arlingtonriverresort.com/) in Newburg, MO (only about 10 minutes from Rolla). 
Jeff setting up the tent.
It's hot but we're having fun!
We got the only spot without a shade tree, so we had to figure out our own shade. (Notice the use of the tailgate to hold up the tarp!)
Chrishael: the sleeping beauty!
Nope, she's awake! :)
Jeff eating smores!
