October Outtakes, Part 1

He smiles biggest when Mommy's holding him

Big Bongo Baby Boy

Hopefully she's learning something

Fall kills all

Baby's first stink face?

More ink, and of course, of a unicorn

The gold horn in all its glory

We've got to get rid of all these marshmallows

She got her U's backwards

Christmas In The City, Part Two

Looking for warmth and shelter, and where better but the best Toy store (that I know of) and the only place where you can run on a giant piano

See

And get glitter tattoos

Fraggle Rock is back people

After dinner at Burger Heaven it was a short walk thru the heavy construction at St Pats, and then the main event

Getting up close and personal

Grandma & Grandpa get in on the action

Just the girl and her Mommy

Just a girl and her Daddy

Then I surprised them with tickets to the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City and got this one shot pre-curtain, and then enjoyed the rest as if I was a kid again. The girls loved it, even if the final acts were taken in thru exhaustion. Being exhausting was proof of what fun we had. When can we do it again?

4 Seconds A Day: August 2013

Mountain Folk Make Birthday Fun

Seems like I'm always playing catchup as of late. This was quite the week. Start where we left off.. the girl turns three...

We took her and Isabella to the park in the woods, amusement on acid, where the staff is all friendly because they're all family, Knoebels. I'm still not convinced you should pronounce the K.

I guess we came to the right place

 

This carousel hit 45 mph before the final passengers could buckle up

The cutest helicopter pilots

This gives Laura the heebeegeebees...

...see.

But they were having some fun

Then we gave them more sugar

I'll stick with my extinguisher

Where's the rest of this train?

Daddy's favorite ride

She's got a thing for ferris wheels

And then she got inked

Before we pulled out of the parking lot

Back at home we had cake ready

 One step closer to having the credentials to back up those daily checkups

Grandpa can never clock out

So that was her birthday. Her actual birthday. But it was only the beginning of what apparently became a week-long celebration. Don't get used to it girl. You only turn three once.

Boyz 4 Lyfe

Tom & I have been keeping in touch, better than we have in the past 10 years, mostly by sending each other random photos of our daily humdrum in hopes to reconnect on the cellular level. It's working I think.

Today Tom sent me a photo of his arm and the tattoo on it.



I have a similar one, slightly less apocalyptic.



I don't remember the conversation that led us up to getting matching tattoos, nonetheless one of a sword-wielding little pigtailed girl, but it happened and we are forever connected in the ink. Isn't that special?
