Señores & Señoras, “El Segundo” would like to wrestle you now!

Señores & Señoras, “El Segundo” would like to wrestle you now!

And now, a scene from the bathtub the other night:
Finnegan: “Are we the Irish?”
Margot: “Yeah!”
Henry Seamus: “Go I-nish!”
Me: Beaming!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone. 🙂
Here are the lads this morning:
And just for old times’ sake, here’s a little historic March 17th action featuring our guys:
We had a terrific time celebrating Finno’s Big 3 a couple of weeks back, and now that the sugar crash has worn off, we can post our little photo gallery and a video from the birthday train ride!
The lads model some headwear at the local Puma store.

A small boy explores his pockets & some flowers.

To say that the boys are enjoying the Lego fire station & trucks my folks brought would be like saying that oceans are kind of wet. As Finn noted with some amazement while being put down for yesterday’s nap, “I just keep thinking about firemen!” Pics will follow, but in the meantime, here’s Henry’s unique take on the proper use of a rescue slide. 🙂

Heh–you never know what’ll happen when sharing photos online. In this case Facebook friend Michael Jahn, inspired by my getting manhandled by Darth Vader, had fun adding a little drama to our recent barber shop visit. 🙂

In terms of dollars spent per smiles rendered, is there *any* better investment than a barber buying lollipops? 🙂 Here are our little suckas about an hour ago.

One basket, two hoodie towels, and three rolls of toilet paper = loads of fun.

A post-dinner trip to Lowe’s = good time-killin’ fun

“Bagel?” asks Henry from inside a play equipment tunnel. “[Am I in a ] Bagel?” Man, maybe we’re laying on the cream cheese a little thick!

Though you can’t readily see it in this photo, the guys were perched side by side on the coffee table (sorry, hon; this is the sort of thing that happens when you leave town!), swinging their legs freely in the best Kermit the Frog style.

In matters of sibling rivalry, here’s hoping Finn remains vigilant when challenging Henry’s crazy chimp-strength!

It’s an underground party (literally, as it was in our basement) last night, featuring Harper, Finn, & DJ Hen:

Our guys sure were happy to see Dad-o upon his return from a weeklong visit to Hamburg, Germany. I had already brought home a pirate shirt for Finny when I visited Hamburg, and John brought one back for Henry this time. Here are our two little grinning pirates in action, with their new buddy Klaas, the pirate duck!
“I made a little teepee for the pig,” announced Finn on the couch this morning. 🙂

Our big guy now explores the Wild Blue Yonder. 🙂

Greetings from Hamburg, Germany, where Dad-O is fighting jetlag and preparing to meet with his new team in the morning. As you may recall, Margot cooked up an elaborate pirate-themed mythology about Hamburg during her last visit, so now I have a few days to dream up an impressive story to tell Finn!
While I was busy playing human origami in the back of a plane, Mom-O & the guys were off celebrating little Halcyon Stotzner’s birthday with a posse of tots at a nearby jumpatorium. Here’s a quick photo snapped by Halcyon’s proud mom Meredith, documenting one of many human trains the guys formed. I already can’t wait to get back and horse around with them.
Step into our beat lab, won’t you? 🙂
(Shot this afternoon at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.)

Over the holiday break I had fun shooting little pics of our guys, then processing & sharing them with the iPhone app Instagram. Here’s a little gallery.
Seeing the image at left just now, our friend Julieanne said, “It looks so old that it could be you in the photo.” I said, “Yeah, except that if it were me, my dad’s finger would be covering half the image.” 😉
