New visitor / Becoming European

Gretel came to visit today. It's impressive how many of Daphne's friends have been able to visit. Julia also loves to have a female visitor - she grows tired of her younger brothers.

I was asked to take the boys out to buy jeans and shoes this weekend. Daph thinks I have lost touch with our American sensibilities. Dave got these faded European styles jeans. Brian wanted the black Pumas and Dave got the classic Converse All-stars.

They wanted their uncles to see their new style - especially the fashion uncle - Uncle Dave in Chicago.

On a totally different note - George is onto his third doctor. George had three days of problems and had to get more help for a problem stomach. If he continues to have problems, the doctor thinks something is stuck and he will need x-rays and maybe surgery. George doesn't like Germany.
