Catching up - Sean's birthday

I'm annoyed by how far behind I am in posting pics... my only consolation is that so few people check this thing on a regular basis, there's probably nobody who notices...

Sean's first birthday cake






Party #1 with the Kellers






Sean liked Simon's bike

Partying wears a boy out!

Party #2 was at Lisa's


Glenn running around outside like a maniac ... as usual.

The Naked Chef

So, after I give both boys a bath, Glenn (who likes to air-dry) and I go into the kitchen - me to further fuel my Diet Dr. Pepper addiction, and Glenn for who knows what. I ask said boy, "Whatcha need?" He says, "Something from the frigerader." Ok.

He opens the frigerader and says, "I need some eggs."
Me "You want to eat some eggs?"
G "I need to crack dem."
Me "If you crack them, I cook them. Are you sure you want to eat eggs?"

After making certain that he will EAT the eggs (the last 2 times he asked for eggs, he decided he didn't want them after they were done), we take the carton to the counter and I get a bowl out of the cabinet. He proceeds to 'help' crack them. Then he says, "I need to misk them" and I hand him a whisk. Glenn begins to misk the eggs and I yell to Scott that he has got to get the camera & get a picture of this...



And yes, he did eat the eggs. Go figure.

New Puppy

According to the Humane Society folks, Noodles is a Retriever/Lab mix... I'd say he's a mix of Lab & Dachshund (and I really hope that the Mom was the Lab.)

We just got him on Saturday (1/16) and so far, he's a good boy. Just gotta get over barking at the cats.

Yearly Art Project

Since Glenn's first Christmas, the grandparents have gotten "art" for Christmas. This year, Sean got in on the painting action. I don't have pictures of the finished works this time, but Granna & Pada, and Nanny & PawPaw really liked them. Of course.

New Year's Eve Fun

A Sad Day...

Our most loved Caesar died yesterday and I miss him terribly. He was a wonderful friend, companion, guard and playmate for me and the boys.

Rest in peace, my sweet friend.

Catching Up - 4th of July

Scott always runs the 10k race in Lexington on July 4, so this year (as is also usually the case) we stayed at Granna & Pada's house on the night of July 3. Using the term "fireworks" very loosely, we let the boys enjoy a little bit of a show. Sean was inside, enjoying the show with Granna & Maggie (the dog.)
Most of these photos explain themselves.






Talk to the hand.


I just love this picture. Not sure what he was watching, but I'm sure it was Scott or Ethan doing something marginally unsafe.

First pony ride. Not looking so sure about this...
I couldn't let go of him for a second, but he said (after) that it was fun.
