Brave Heart

If you don't know that I am the biggest scaredy cat when it comes to snakes then you can't appreciate this picture. This is a 25lb yellow python draped around my neck. What could be more brave than to hold a python in one hand and your infant in the other? The animal handler assured me that it was safe and after seeing about 20 toddlers do it I decided the snake was docile but still, this is a big moment for me!

Wawawawhaaat? Utter shock and jaw dropping amazement!!! I have a picture of you without your infant and a 3 inch long green snake about a foot away from you in which you look like you are so scared you may pass out. You've come a LONG way!

Whaaaaaat? (I couldn't help but repeat Jamie because this is what I was thinking the entire time I read your post.)

WAY TO GO! I wouldn't have been so nervy; no way. Max seemed to enjoy the exotic atmosphere in his Hawaii shirt.

Wow! That's gutsy even for someone not afraid of snakes. Although, I keep being told by James that we ARE getting a snake - I don't think so!

Checkered Slip-Ons?

That little Max guy has got some good style.

Woah Britney Spears!

Yellow python + baby, next thing you know you'll be driving around with Ma on your lap saying, "I'm country!"

Just kidding. I am AMAZED at this one. If you didn't have the photo evidence, I wouldn't believe it.

ps. Those ARE nice shoes, Max. Which generous aunt with excellent taste gave them to you, I wonder...

Max is getting too big. You need to bring him home so I can cuddle with him while he's still small.
