Well, my daughter is only 2 weeks old and already needed casts on her legs!  Apparently her feet bend inwards - that would have become an issue later on in life - so they are going to fix it now and that requires casting her feet for a little while and some braces at night after that - but that’s okay - look how cute she looks with her little casts!

I really can’t say enough about the great crowds that I have seen this summer - maybe it has something to do with the disappointing weather - but I like to think it’s because people want to see me!  I’m a little delusional that way

But whatever the reason - I love seeing familiar faces at my shows and I always try to do something new - Norton will be seeing me again in August, and I have to thank Lee for sending me these great pics!

I am always so impressed at the crowds that show up, ready to listen to stories - but even more impressed at how lively they are when it’s time to get up and act silly, dancing around!  These pics were taken by Amy, the librarian - and there are a bunch more posted on Flickr - click the pics to see more.  Thanks to everyone who showed up and I look forward to my return visit in August!

Well, my wife and I certainly had a surprise this July 4th!  My daughter decided she didn’t want to wait any longer and came out a whole month early!  I have thousands of pictures and videos and will be posting more pics later but I thought you’d enjoy these for now!  My wife is doing great and was an amazing Mommy - one of the most fascinating things I have even witnessed in my life!  My daughter is also doing really well and we are already home!  Thanks to everyone who has written with well wishes!  Now I just have to try and keep up with some sleep!

Make sure you have a happy and safe Independence Day - Make sure you eat lots of “hot dogs!”  I look forward to seeing everyone at the many, many libraries I will be visiting this summer!
