Happy New Year 2009



New Ways to Find Trouble, Trouble, Trouble . . .


The new year has brought much joy and much creativity. For example, you could steal your baby brother's pacifier. You could paint your face blue so you look like a smurf.

You could give your brother a kiss and then bounce a hard plastic batman toy off his head, all the while grinning from ear to ear.

You could give your brother a kiss and then tiger claw his face, resulting in a poor little shocked baby!

Alternatively, you could hold him and cuddle him and give him lots of love. Many thanks go out to grandma, for surviving three weeks with three under two. A typical day would go something like this: after staying up all night, Michelle would sit nursing angel baby Alex in her cozy chair; meanwhile, she would say "grandma, Zoe is crawling out the dog door; grandma, JR is dancing on the dining room table; grandma, Zoe is climbing on top of the piano; grandma, JR is sitting in the fireplace . . . . " and so on and so on. Then, at the end of the day, grandma and Michelle would sit watching reruns of the TV series Alias. Could you imagine more fun than that? Thanks a million grandma.

I think my favorite is JR with his smurf face. Priceless. Hope your weathering sleep deprivation as well as possible! Miss you! Tash
