Dockums Reunited

As promised, the pictures from our trip to vist my family, the Dockums. There are five girls and one boy in my family, so poor Andy is outnumbered most of the time. My brother was in Thailand and couldn't make it to the funeral and my brother-in-law had to stay in Phoenix for work, so there was lots of estrogen floating around. It's pretty much summed up by a line from the immortal movie, White Christmas, "Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters..." These are just a few of the pictures. more are at to Bekka's blog: http://randekka.blogspot.com/ Bekka, Kaylee, Nanette, Nollie, Kira. My mom, Andy, and Ben are in back.


Ben with his doting aunties


Andy and I got pedicures together on Valentine's day. I am a glutton for pamering, and am a veteran of the peducure scene, but this was Andy's first. Gotta love relaxing with good reading material.


As you can tell, Andy's enjoying it. The salon we went to had a particularly good technician/masseur.


This picture makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. We discovered at my mom's house that Ben is severely allergic to dogs. Within a minute of being licked, he broke out in hives.

Oooh, so sad about the allergies! The pedicure is a great idea. I took Jake to get a pedicure one year for Valentines Day and he loved it. They used a clear nail polish that was actually called "nails for males"...to make him feel OK with it all. He loved it deep down.

Oh!! Poor Ben... you can almost see the lick mark on his face, like the actual tongue imprint.

Ha! Sarah's comment makes me think of that SNL Makeup for Men: "It's not noticeable. It says so on the box!" Hee hee.

Looks like a fun and cathartic week for you with the fam. I'm so glad.

Is it weird that I think Ben looks like Rikker in the picture where he got licked by the dogs?

Laura said...

poor little guy! But he looks like such a little man in that picture!

Andy looks like he is sure enjoying himself while getting a pedicure, almost too much for a guy!
