That's Messy

Julian takes pride (as does every other 1 yr old kid) with food artwork. I really can't complain. I've heard of moms cleaning poop off their walls for 4 hours or watching their kid poor honey down his chest and hair (you ladies know who you are!)

Julian was messy during the first part of the week. Here's what happened the last 6 days:

Mess#1

Our car got in a messy wreck.

Mess#2

I was a mess after the wreck (tears were flying!) Sorry, no pics.

Mess#3

Our beloved Mac crashed after a measly 2 anos. "Looks like you need more RAM and/or a new computer," said the nerd at the Mac store.

Mess#4

The face of Tan's cd player got stolen from a bunch of jokers while he was fishing. The actual cd player is still sitting in the car along with the lonely cd's that all got skipped over for some reason.

Mess#5

Julian's 5 molars/canines came pushing through all at the same time and consequently he got an infection in his faithful left thumb from trying to sooth from the pain of his teeth!

I felt the worst when Jules woke up in the morning with his little thumb so swollen and infected, so in retrospect things really weren't too bad. I just think the timing on it all was awesome.

I ran into another amazing documentary and was left just sobbing with Liam by my side trying to console me. Kudos to the filmmaker for a well put together film.

To quote from the synopsis off pbs.org:

"In 2004, Jason Crigler's life was taking off. He was one of New York's hottest young guitarists, his new CD was due for release and his wife, Monica, was pregnant with their first child. Then, at a gig in Manhattan, Jason suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage. His doctors doubted he would ever emerge from his near-vegetative state. The astonishing journey that followed, documented by friend and filmmaker Eric Daniel Metzgar (The Chances of the World Changing, POV 2007), is a stirring family saga and a portrait of creative struggle in the face of overwhelming tragedy."

Watch Life. Support. Music. if you get a chance. It's so good!

Shameless Pt.2

I came upon this lovely pose the other morning along with the loud chant: "Thunder... Thunder... Thunder... ThunderCats... Ho!" (This kid's new Incredible Hulk undies gives him courage like you wouldn't believe.)

Kids do funny stuff like this all the time. Luckily for me my camera was nearby. Not so lucky for him: this series of documentations I've started solely for humiliation purposes.

Higgtastic News

In tonight's blog news we start off on a good note: After passing both difficult exams Dr. Higginbotham is now finished with school and licensed.

NO MORE STUDYING!!!!!!! YEAH!!

This picture was taken of an adorable boy playing at a nearby park. Sources say this handsome little dimple darling was found grinning and smiling to all the local park goers without expecting anything in return.

The boy has now been nicknamed "Smiles" by local neighbors and residents. What a kid.

The weather has been raining every day for at least the last 2 1/2 weeks, so we're feeling a little soggy up here. We can't complain though; it has been so cool and that cloud cover has been amazing.

After days of trying to convince her 3 year old son Liam that visiting the dentist was fun, a local mom got her wish; a baby moose was found wondering right in front of her local dentist's office. "It was like a gift sent from heaven, " she said. (Only here do you see a moose wondering in front of your dentist's office.)
