The Gaze

Okay...so some of you already know this. But Sammy has this keen stare-down thing he can do. It's almost scary. He can dead-pan better than just about anyone I've met. Here's a great example:



What makes it so cool is that he knows what he's doing. Sometimes, he'll even give you a little grin ... after he's convinced you that he is deadly serious.

Brothers

Upcoming Gig

For those who can make it: Adam has an upcoming gig with "Men Not Rabbits" in Wayland, MI. We'd love to see you there. His brother Luke is driving up from Chicago to play drums. Marc Vandermaas will be bassing it. And the supremely talented Steve Oostdyk will be taking lead guitar.

Of Mice and Men

So ... Ben's been drawing so much lately. He loves pulling out his "MAGNADOODLE" to make cool pictures. Here's his mouse.

A Little Bit Crazy

Sometimes, life at the Barr Househould can get "a little bit crazy." In the last few days, we've painted two rooms and ripped up the carpet in our hallway (nice hardwood floors beneath). But nothing makes our life together more crazy-fun than Ben and Sam. Together, they are a Dynamic Duo of Big-Big Fun-Time Insanity (the DDBBFTI).

Jen was subjected to their insanity. For evidence, see below.
