It takes a man many years to accomplish the task of cleaning floors!
I got him started early!

*bump*

...take the blue pill and you wake up w/a clean diaper and forget we ever had this conversation.

..the blue pill.. and you'll find out how deep the rabbit hole to childhood goes.

oh i mean,

Here's my hardworking niece Ashley headed for the finish line in her crew meet this morning:



GO SACRED HEART!!


And I think I've found the perfect job for Kylie:

Fun, Keith!

Kylie would be a great coxwain!

.

So its a little past Halloween, but my sister just sent me this and I couldn't resist....Little Brooklyn Drew....

that's adorable!

My petite flowers -



And my oldest on the first day of school -

thanks rachshel and sarah. i needed those.

Ditto here also. The girl in the red dress sitting on the green grass lowered my noise level as if it were some kind of hypnotic voice from another world.

here's my nephew. you can almost make him out under the rolls.

this is not my kid. nor is he in any way related to me. he is my landlady's 11 year old son and he trys to annoy me when i'm on the computer.

so i took this picture of him. he hates it.

(it's ok, i think he's a great kid, but he's always retaliating against my retaliation, hehehe)

oh my gosh. that's him? oh we can totally take him.

Our little girl blowing out the candles on her brownie cake for her 18th.

Pics of my neices (one very new and one close to 2)

Ellie and Hayley














Sorry if you've already seen these....I'm a very proud aunt.

My best friends' daughter.

So adorable, Troy.

My niece Ada Jane.

My niece being bitten by her new pteradactyl:

And pretending to play the player piano at her great-grandma's nursing home:

Here's my little Abigail at the Cincy Zoo. I like to think she's 90% precious and 10% "Hey! Whaddaya Lookin' at, Ya Friggin' Bastid?"

I wouldn't admit it either! ... issues!!!

Geez Fred, she's gorgeous.

Here's another one of Fred and Stephanie's little darling:

Holy Cow ... nice shot! Thanks Keith!

Is that coffee in that kid's hand, Fred????

Looks like Sunmaid raisins.

BINGO ... that should be a little game on Price is Right or something! I'd be willing to give up PLINKO!

... she flitters about like a hummingbird as it is, Troy! Point taken, however; I'm sure it won't be long knowing her dad!

Here I am holding my niece Ada Jane for the first time.

Beautiful Dre ... she has your hair. (Okay, not the first time you've heard that one, right?) Seriously, she's beautiful. Congrats ... and may I recommend my friend Laurie Berkner for music. It's NOT the Purple Menace, and it won't drive you insane.
Laurie Berkner's Fantastic Kids' Music!

Of course not, but I actually enjoy my baldingness. Hopefull Ada will surpass my head hair, and never close in on my facial hair!

My daughter's mostly Italian, so we're already wondering if she's going to get Daddy's mustache!

Here's another of my beautiful one, she's riding her new rocking horse this past Christmas morn.

Bring her with you in March, will ya?

Sorry Keith ... I can't fit Abigail AND Kylie into the one carseat!

ROTF LMAO!

but seriously dude, you are SO dead when she reads that.

I've got my kneepads on ... let her flail away!

::kills fred::

You know, I really can't believe y'all would stoop to making jokes about Kylie's height.

What height!?!

this is my friend's most gorgeous child, solomon...

and here's one more because i just can't get enough:

Another of Perfect Daughter:

Oh geez, she grew up some more in the two months since I was there! (I hate that.)

Does she sound like Lionel Hampton on her xylophone now?

If she did, daddy would quit his miserable job and blow this taco stand. So, sadly, she merely sounds like your far-above-average 2.5 year old.
