Uncle Eric!

My Uncle Eric lives in Denver, Colorado, so I was several weeks old before I got to meet him for the first time. But he came into town with his friend Courtney and they stopped off at the house to meet me! Uncle Eric brought me a book about John Deere Tractors - which of course made Gramps pleased that he raised such a fine son. And I'm confused - I keep hearing that there are not many red heads in the world. But it seems like everyone around me is a red head! My big sister Daphne, my mom, my dad, my dog Ophelia and now my Uncle Eric! And I'm told that I have another Aunt and Uncle I have not met yet who are also red heads! Whew...... Red Head overload.

I thought it was funny that Daphne was scared of Uncle Eric! So he tried to get her to warm up to him by teasing her of taking her outside - something she loves to do...
