This is the cutest video/photos of Robert and Reagan to date. It is really the first time that they are interacting with each other. We just may have to send it to Americas Funniest Videos.

I am really excited about the next Charity Tuesday which will take place on July 7th. We will be sponsoring the charitable organization – Golf Pros Beating Cancer, a group dedicated to supporting skin cancer research at Duke University. One of only 40 centers in the country designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a “comprehensive cancer center,” Duke combines cutting-edge research with compassionate care. Duke’s team of nationally recognized physicians and staff treat more than 7,000 new patients per year, giving them the extensive experience that yields better results. The Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center is ranked as the top cancer hospital in the south, according to U.S.News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” survey.
Charity Tuesday events continue to gain momentum with the next one promising to be the biggest and best to date. I have just picked up additional financial backing from three lenders, Danny Ott and James Gaudiosi with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and Ana Maria Espina with Franklin American. The three have agreed to contribute a 10 percent match of the night’s dinner proceeds to the charity. This currently brings our total contributions to 50 percent. I hope to have at least one additional contributor by the time of our next event.
As always, you simply come to the Old Brogue in Great Falls and enjoy great company, a fabulous dinner and an opportunity to win door prizes. Whatever you spend on dinner and drinks will see a 50% match go to the charity – Golf Pros Beating Cancer. Please click on the link (no pun intended) to learn more about this group and their upcoming Pro-Am tournament to be held at Trump National Golf Club. Drawings for door prizes will also be held. Our best prize to date is being offered up by Chris Melnick with LSA Title Services. Chris has graciously offered up a three-some (actually a four-some with him) at Trump National. Other door prizes include a one month complimentary pass to Elite Fitness here in Great Falls, a gift basket donated once again by Dominion Title , as well as several smaller gift items. Danny Ott and I are working on securing additional door prizes which will be posted as they become available.
Wow, has this been an awful lot of fun. Robert and Reagan just continue to grow and become more enchanting with each passing day. I had an opportunity to spend about two hours with them last Sunday, both before and after the open house at their home. The most gratifying part of the whole interaction was to see their faces light up when I came into the room. They are just so happy to see me, and of course I just crack up laughing whenever they smile. And oh, watch out when they laugh. The hardest part is trying to equitably divide my time between them.
I can only imagine how Marie and Bob feel when either Nancy or I show up. Well, it is our job to spoil them isn’t it. We just get them all excited and wound up, and then leave up to their parents to settle them back down. Not only am I proud of the wonderful babies, but I am so excited to see how happily Bob and Marie are dealing with parenthood.
Attached are several photos of the babies. As you can see, Reagan is now sitting up all by herself. Robert tends to need a bit of support, but that will likely only be for another few days. I hope you enjoy the photos.
