Cutie Pie and "Let's Get Real Gone"

Ohio State 14 - Meeeechigan 3.

All is right with the world again. Things are as they should be. The air is a little fresher, the beer a little colder. Joy abounds. So glad that Mike Hart and Chad Henne went 0 for 4 against our beloved Buckeyes.

Jim Tressel for emperor.

Got a bit of the sweet and sour this week. Let's start with the sweet.

Took a few good shots this week of Jr. He's really growing fast. When we first got this exersaucer, he was dwarfed by it. Not so much any more.
Sorry, just love these shots where his eyes are half open.

Here's a nice picture of his socks.

Mommy was feeding him here - Daddy doesn't get his face this messy.

And now for the sour.

So, we went to Jon and Donna's for the OSU game yesterday. Thank you, Nic for watching Colin. Excellent time had by all. Greg Ginn, after Black Flag had a project called Gone. They have an album called "Let's Get Real Gone". Sums things up quite nicely.

Here's Kirstin, Mary Ann and Donna.

After the game, the singing began. Not good.
Seriously bad.

Mary had had enough by this point.
That's the "please stop taking my picture" smile.
Jason Leach, lying.

Scoots and Mary.
Cary listening to one of Jason's lies.
Don't you understand how to operate a razor, you bum?
More 'singing'.

A-man walking back to the TV.
Dork.
Seriously. Dork.

"I like wine. By the gallon."
Jon is a hillbilly.
Jon, Carey, Jason, Me, Anthony.
Jason & Carey.

Ladies.
Donna Jean, disco queen. "I'm in my kitchen. And I like wine."
Sleepy?

Like I said, the singing was not good.

So, yeah. Great time had by all. Thank you, Jon & Donna. Countdown to T-Gate '08 is officially under way. We're bringin' 30 people with us next year, T. We're taking over the Holiday Inn. It will be madness.

Overdue for another post blogging

Overdue yet again, Sports Fans. Apologies. Between an OSU loss, Colin getting his first cold, and the new job - I've just not been able to get to the blog like I'd hoped. Plus, Colin just turned five moths, so I'm totally falling down on the job.

Here are a few of the shots we took on the five month day. Clearly, we're done trying to flatter the boy, and showing you the real Colin. Getting your arm stuck in the Jumperoo is not nearly the dilemma one would think.
He's figured out how to close his eyes for camera flashes, as you'll see. He gets this from his mother. I've got photo album after photo album of mom looking stoned. "The sins of the MOTHER . . .. " as they say.

Again, seriously - what is the kid thinking?
This one's not so bad.
But this one is.
If y'all understood how happy this thing makes him, this picture wouldn't be nearly so goofy.
We got Colin his first pair of 'big boy' shoes this weekend. Here he is bundled up to go out yesterday. Mommy's so proud that the hat matches the sweater, which coordintes with the shoes so nicely.

You thought I was kidding? Look at that smile. "Coordination is what separates us from the monkeys.'
As promised, a few more shots from the Wisconsin game. Again, amazing view.
Offense breaking the huddle.
K - that's all I've got for now. Hope to post more regularly. Thanks for stopping by! Stay classy.
