I asked Chris to send me more nephew Bannack photos and he’s been really pulling through the past few weeks. This one melts my heart! I miss the little squirt.
From Chris:
It has been a long time since I have visited the country club pool in Great Falls, Montana but Great Grandma Fern was kind enough to take us yesterday.
It was pure 1950s sweetness and Bannack fit right in in his tight striped le petit bateau swim suit (thanks Jill).
Helena’s one and only consignment craft boutique and best place to find a birthday present for my sister, just launched a brand new website. If you have never been up to Reeder’s Alley you’ve missed out on a really special nook in Helena’s history and a great part of town.
From My Ma:
Bannack loves to mow! Only pretend. When Mike starts the mower engine Bannack is frightened!
I’m missing my little guy.
My sister, Chris and Bannack are staying up at my parent’s house so they can get their place rented before the big move to New York in August. So when I called home recently I got to talk to everyone, including little Bannack.
My mom wanted him to show off his newest word to me and put him on the line. I could only imagine what he looked like, but the little tyke growled something that sounded an awful lot like “garage” into the telephone and it made my day.
The first Vigilante Parade, held in 1924, was the brainchild of Principal A. J. Roberts in an attempt to divert students from traditional “subversive” spring traditions. These included an annual “senior-junior fight,” which often resulted in serious injuries. With the help of both students and faculty, the historical parade has enjoyed decades of success, creating its own history. For instance, in 1939, the Parade served as primary entertainment for visiting Prince Olaf and Princess Martha of Norway. -Source
