Santa 2009

Nick, along with Tanya, Mimi, Grammy, Grampy, and I visited Santa at Twelve Oaks today. Grammy "couldn't believe he didn't cry." He didn't because he was too busy staring at Santa's beard.
Inside the "Polar Express" Engine Room.
A Supervisor asked Grampy why he wasn't wearing his elf costume and told him to wait outside of Santa's Province until they could get things cleared up.
Staring.
Everyone loves the food court.

(Shaky) Video.

Cheerio

We started giving Cheerios to Nicholas over Thanksgiving while my brother was in town. A few weeks later he's able to feed himself. Nicholas loves him some Cheerios. Good job, Squirt.

Pumpkin Hunters

We went to Erwin Cider Mill in South Lyon with the Greens and Mimi a couple of weekends ago to get some cider, donuts, and pumpkins. Nicholas enjoyed his first tractor ride and pumpkin hunt.

Getting Ready for Norm

Jumpin'

I took the day off to hang with Nick so Mimi wouldn't have to tend to two children by herself. Nicholas and I got the oil changed on the Jeep, went grocery shopping, and played with blocks. Nick also tried out his new jumper toy.

Labor Day Weekend

Nick played on the swings at the park, posed for some pics with his puppy, and enjoyed some jazz in Detroit this Labor Day weekend. Whooo... whooo... whooo.

Tigers; Brah

Pictures and video from the August 14th Tigers game versus the Royals. The evening began with a few pbrs in the parking lot, then progressed to Cheli's Chili for a drink. We then enjoyed the buffet and seeing Mr. Dombrowski's perfectly coiffed hair at the Tiger Den. The view from the 2nd row behind the Royals' dugout was hoooot. THANKS, for going BRAH! Next time, row 1.

Rod.


The video starts with Marcus Thames' strike out to begin the ninth. Then we finish with every moms' hero -- Brandon Inge -- and his walk-off home run. WE DID IT BRAH.

Nick, etc.

Baby vs. Bear

Tanya took these shots of Nicholas wrasslin' his bear in his crib yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day.... Anybody want to see Norm MacDonald at the Royal Oak Music Theatre? T and I are in. I'll buy tickets this week.

Baby E.

He's here! Born on April 14th at 4:19 pm. Nicholas (still deciding on the middle name) Everett. He's 10 lbs 2 oz, 21 1/2 inches long. As you can see he is stunningly handsome. So far he likes to eat, suck on his hands and fingers, and stare at mom and dad. More later....
About an hour after birth.

Boy's Room

I painted the baby's room last weekend and also set the crib up. This crib was previously used by Cousin Sammi and Cousin Mikey. Thanks, dudes!

This is lame

I was looking forward to watching WMU play MSU at Ford Field on November 7. Now I have to travel all the way to that shit-stain Michigan State stadium to see the Broncos embarass them. I demand that Storch use whatever "pull" he has at the MSU-NAMBLA group to get great seats.

And Storch, please tell Petland to stop selling puppies, you jerk.

Happy New Year

Tanya, January 4, 2009. (Don Knotts in background.)

Hi. Obviously it's been a long time since I did anything here. I'll try to put more stuff up soon. 2009 will be an exciting year.
