The latest Halloween pics EVAH

This is all part of the plan. Everyone gets tired of seeing every kid in Halloween garb, but if I wait three weeks, it's new again. It's kind of like the daily newspaper -- the news is so old by the time you see it, you forgot and the newspaper reminds you!

So here you go, our little love bug/butterfly (I prefer love bug.)

And here is the oddly matched tandem of Harry Potter and Captain Rex. This actually makes quite a bit of sense if you've heard Riley's Comparative Lit lecture on the similarities between "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter."

And here ... is a Viking. That's all I got.

Recognizing greatness

We're hatching our Thanksgiving plan, which includes our friend Ted from Linda's high school days. We were reminding Brady about Ted: He's a doctor, he's really nice, etc.

"Is he funny?" Brady asked.

Well, sure, we said.

"Is he funnier than Tim? Because Tim moons people."

Touche.

Our current screensaver

That's all.

School pictures!

We have hard copies of these and will get them to you, oh, by the time they graduate from college. But in case you can't wait .... it would have been more photogenic for Brady to smile. But Brady smiling for fake purposes and on command wouldn't be Brady.

Ten years with YeYe

One month ago today. I don't have much to say, but I think these are some never-before-seen photos because we're horrible about doing anything with all those digital pics we store up. Anyway, there's a pretty good chronology of a pretty fun grandpa.

Summer 2005, during that vacation to Lake Delton but this was in that other lake that we went to that had the state park.

Riley just after his first birthday. Says now: "That's me? YeYe looks like you."

Brady loves NiNi's husband Mr. Ryan.

Roughhousing in Manzanita after Missy and Michael's wedding.

He ain't heavy, he's my grandson!

Mexico 2007. It's 9 p.m. and 80 degrees, and the pool is just perfectly cool. Life doesn't get better.

Lake at 2 months old. I believe this picture will always be on display in our house.

Have a good day.
Peace.

It's (belated) party time!

If this isn't the best beer ad ever, someone please tell me what is.



As to the frosting, Lake was slightly civilized at the Tsai family compound a couple days before her birthday. I also posted some pictures on Facebook that everyone should be able to see by following this link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2022515&id=1395187726&l=a375c81f2e

I'll try to figure out how to edit down videos for uploading, plus we'll try to get video of Lake humming the Star Wars music.
