Jack Walks!

He's been doing it all week, so he's pretty solid now. Here is a video of his first 2 days of walking we were able to witness after we returned from Colorado. Go Jack! Time to start baby-proofing on a whole new level!

20 Year Flashback

In my quest for the perfect law school graduation gift for Kari that would be both sentimental and completely random, I decided to compile a mix of the music we all loved 20 years ago. What better way to celebrate a monumental achievement than by reliving the childhood moments that made us who we are today. Plus, I knew she would need some hot tunes to blast this summer while studying for the bar exam. If you would like to sample some of this music, check out our new player at the bottom of this page. Enjoy your blast to the past and have a totally radically bodaciously awesome summer!

For some extra fun, click on the pic below and try to identify everything 80's.

Words from the Masked Man

In answer to his inquiry concerning the planet Earth, I informed him that all human beings live on this planet. He then asked me, "What planet does Grandpa live on?"

The other day, Rocky announced that he was going to make yogurt. I asked him how he would do that. He said, "Actually mom. You pour some milk in a big box. Then you put in some grease and stir.... and YOGURT!" (with arms up in exclamation)

Rocky confronted Rich and I one evening and said, "Guys. I want to go to a spaghetti & meatball restaurant. Do they have one of those on this planet?"

He likes to confuse the "teachers" at the kid's center at our gym. Every time I drop him off, he walks in boldly announcing to all what his name for the day is, and usually, what his mom should be called. He has been Batman, Superman, Ironman, Bolt, Shoeshine aka. Underdog, Spiderman, Bumblebee (transformer), Buzz Lightyear and today... Robot Boy. He usually calls me Optimus Prime, Woody, Robin, the "Black" Spiderman (I'm not sure what he is implying with that) or (my favorite) Supermom. Jack, for some reason, is always Scooby Doo.

One day, while I was making lunch, he said (out of the blue), "Mom. Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes." Then he left the kitchen.

He is convinced that his dad is a superhero. I don't disagree.
