Our computer has decided it no longer wants to function. A new one is on the way. Please stand by...

Crazy Californians

We all know Californians have some crazy ideas; fortunately, we have Megan to straighten things out with our visitors from the south.

Mac's mom and Aunt Minnie came up Tuesday to visit for a few days and to watch the kids on Friday, while Mac joined his Y-chromosome laden relatives for some manly activities in Arizona (namely dove hunting and beer drinking, and perhaps some swearing and gas passing too).

Wednesday we ate dinner out on the deck. being ravenous after a hard day of work, I quickly cleared my plate.

Mac's Mom: Do you want some more?
Pam (handing over plate): Sure, I'll have some more salad, please.
Megan: (seeing me hand over plate) Are you all done?
Pam: No, Mamaw (grandma) is getting me more.
Minnie (to Megan): She's having seconds.
Megan (to Minnie): No! She's having SALAD!

Duh!

FOOOOD!

Mr. Liam got his first taste of solid food today. Ok, it was really a semi-solid bit of gloopy infant rice cereal that probably shouldn't be classified as food, but nonetheless, it wasn't nutrition from a bottle. We got a couple of good shots of the little booger in his high chair, but Mac's computer crashed completely so I can't upload them to the blog. But don't worry this has caused much elation in Mac, who spent the day of the computer crash practically dancing around the house, chanting, 'I get a new computer! I get a new computer!"

Deja-blue

A very rare baby garment of Megan's has made in into Liam's wardrobe. But since when does Make Way For Ducklings (the picture on the front) have a gender?

Liam, 6 months

Beware of the Silence

Megan is normally a wall flower when it comes to socializing (hmmm, I wonder where she got that??), but she has a great relationship with her friend Kate. The two of them are able to entertain themselves for unbelievable amounts of time (at least for 2 year olds). Aaah, but silence isn't always golden. Like when the two kids are using your toothbrush to rub toothpaste into the bathroom floor.

Cat Lover

Fortunately, the cats still have someone to love them!

They could use it too. Dante suffered a mysterious accident that resulted in a huge laceration on his back thigh (exposed tendons and muscle) and a dislocated hip. Prevailing theory is that it was a fall or a barbed wire run-in, but who knows? He is spending 6-8 weeks on cage rest to let it heel. He's not keen on the confinement and it doesn't help that Zeus now hisses at him in the cage.

Auntie Sarah turns 30!

Sure makes me feel old to have my little sister turn 30! - just tell 'em it's your second annual 29th birthday!

Happy birthday, Sash!
