Henry names his brother

I think we'll call him Don for short.

TMBG + Nose Talent = Randomness

Just thought I would share...They Might Be Giants is podcasting a Friday night video podcast for families. Think Flying Circus meets the Electric Company...it's pretty cool, Henry digs it. We're just strange like that.



And in other family weirdness...one of the larger noses in the family is now peddling Masi bikes online. That's all I got.

Keep on Truckin'

As you may know, Henry has a healthy truck obsession. Trucks are involved one way or another in most of Henry's daily activities, as well as ours.

Since becoming a full-time student and spending most of the day with Henry, I've become a regular reader of The Mom Spin: A Local Blog for Moms. (Erin reads it too.) So, I thought I would a.) admit this and b.) share her blog entry about...trucks! Enjoy.

And a quick video of studying while truckin', or is it the other way around?

Goofing with the Flip

Yeah, what he said

The Perfect Gift

When you're a little kid the box a gift came in is as equally interesting as the gift.

For Henry, his favorite Christmas gift wasn't meant for him. Winnie gave Erin a hand-held massager that lights up and vibrates.

Henry turned this into a space gun, with which he can vibrate anything within his reach: the wood work, floors, windows, tables, people's legs, Xola's head, etc.

A Space of One's Own

Henry was excited to receive his own table and chairs, complete with desk drawer.

He is very particular about what gets placed in his drawer and who places it there.

At first, he wouldn't even let his father sit at his table with him. Little does he know, his brother will soon be occupying the other chair.

Happy Thanksgiving

Dave Wells and I were marveling at Henry's accounting system: see the wall behind him.

Sorry we missed the Hagertys and the Rishes this year; but it was nice to have all of the Wells siblings, significant others and children together.

THANKS for understanding. And THANKS to Bruce for posting coverage of the Hagerty Thanksgiving.

There comes a time

There comes a time in every man's life when he has to decide whether to pull them up over his belly or push them down under.

It's a tough choice between the downward-turned belt buckle and shorty suspenders.

Big hippo

Every once in a while, when Xola is 'hipp-ing' around the living room, hip checking Henry with her 95 lb. butt, we like to remember when she fit in our coat pocket.

All too soon, there will be two 95 lb. hippos in our living room once Henry catches up to Xola's weight class.
