Aaron & Lori, Ryan & Landon Stallings came for a visit from Ohio...they arrived on Monday in time for supper...we hadn't seen them or how much little Landon had grown for over 16 months...needless to say, at three-years-old, he has gone from baby-like to toddler-like and from not talking to talking up a storm if he's in the mood. He's still a cute little "fella"...he doesn't have a very big appetite for very many foods...but he's a bundle of sweet energy! His big brother is Ryan and turns 12 the first of December. Once they leave for home and I have all the pictures I can take, I'll get them down-loaded and posted onto the computer and this blog...not all of them, of course, but some. He doesn't love his picture taken too much...sometimes he says: "no more pictures". When you ask him his name he says very readily "Landon Clarke". When he's happy, he's all smiles and a doll. He's taken to Malia, so she's been able to get plenty of pictures too, so between the two of us...we should have plenty.
Last night Malia and I went down to the London Bridge "Polar Bear Swim". 23 brave swimmers swam from one side of the bridge to the other in 62 degree water in the evening cool air! Their ages were from 10 (our little neighbor boy) to 58 years old. All made it, but whoever reached the other side first got the privilege of turning on the "million lights" display under the bridge at the English Village and on the bridge. They coreographed music as the lights "danced" to Christmas music. Santa sat under the bridge entertaining little ones. It was a festive, fun evening.
