Starbucks: building brand loyalty at birth!
Alex is fascinated by Starbucks coffee cups, so much so that it is hard for me to finish mine while around him. I have to rinse out my cup and then give it to him - he loves to carry it around and pretend to drink out of it!

No More Mullet - Photos of the Day

We'll make up for Friday by posting two photos today. We finally broke down and cut Alex's hair - he doesn't have much, but the back was getting a little long.


Before - You can see the obvious "party in the back" here.


After - What a nice, tight looking 'do!

Change the name to 36poundcat.com?

Lincoln getting weighed at the vet's office. He's actually gone down about a pound from a month ago. Now he's 36 lbs., 8 oz., from 37 lbs., 7 oz. The vet wants to get him down to 30 lbs. I agree...

40 Pounder!

Wow is all I can say about this kitty...

Yankee Doodle Baby!

Mr. Alex is getting his patriotism on!

While he took a three-hour nap yesterday, mom worked on some stuff around the house and in honor of the holiday caught a few episodes of this:

The Revolution

Very cool - I think I'm going to get the DVD set as I am a history geek and love that kind of stuff (had to make a side-trip to Concord, MA in New England to see the first fight of the Revolutionary War)

Dad was busy indulging in some 80's nerd-stalgia -

Transformers Movie

Time to REALLY Babyproof...

...he's mobile!

How Quickly He Grows...

This is just amazing when I look at these pictures!

The Only Fun (Food) of It's Kind...

Iowa State Fair time here - the place that has every type of food-on-a-stick imaginable, plus other culinary oddities. This has to be the GROSSEST thing I've ever seen...and it was featured in the DM Register's version of Red Eye...Hot Beef Sundae in time for the State Fair!



I seriously threw up in mouth just looking at the picture...and I love the cherry tomato garnish...how clever.

Ultrasound Pictures

From the ultrasound at 19 weeks...warning...lots and lots of ultrasound photos to follow (and yes, we know they all look the same)! We had a 2-D ultrasound and some images were taken in 3-D as well. He's a little too young for the 3-D, but they are still fun to look at. Click on the image to see a bigger picture.

DM Register's photographer got a better picture below (I think) because the dog looks like she's smiling.
