Oh-Oh

Tilia's first word(s). Although it is more of a double grunt, but she'll be up to "tractor" any day now.

Oh, someone wished me "Happy" Memorial Day...huh?

Tilia, feelin' better...

T is feeling much better after the bout with some "mysterious infection". Antibiotics are still against living things. No hope to win the Republican primary in 2008.

Tilia pictures

We had Tilia pose for a few pics on Sunday. We went to Kiddie Candids in Roseville - you can check out the pics here.

It will always amaze me how time flies with children. It seems like last week that we brought her home from United. Perhaps time goes quickly due to my lack of memory. In fact, this guy remembers more than I do most of the time.

2 items of not today:

Michelle bought a scooter.

I am on a soccer team. Better keep my insurance card handy.

I am Wood - Brimhall K program

This is a family classic, unfortunately, Acer is hidden for most of the clip. However, you can hear him quite well - his voice is a smooth mix of Marvin Gaye and singer from Chicago - during their sappy prom ready love ballad years around 1984, Peter Cetera. Enjoy!

Acer's Kindergaten Program

Brimahall school (sounds private, doesn't it?) had their annual Kindergarten program yesterday. As with Salix's, Michelle and I were impressed with the content that they teach the Kindergarteners~! Acer knows so much now about Minnesota and the unique biomes of the area - in Kindergarten.

The kids sang a family favorite - "I am wood!" We'll post a video later for that one. In the meantime, Acer made a great drawing of our state bird. Check it out!

The joy of new clothing!

Michelle introduced Tilia to the joys of a new outfit tonight. Tilia seemed pleased with how it looked, but gargled something about the hat making her thighs look chunky.
