The Waldron Family

Daycare was closed for a few days because Ms. Kathleen's son dislocated his elbow (ouch!). So Rusty and the boy got to play outside. This is Bryce's first time in the backpack. Daddy, why am I in this contraption? And why did you dress me like a dork? My socks clash with my pants and don't get me started on my jacket! Well I guess the swing is okay, even if it is a little big for me.

Bryce, Lilly and Harrison at Elsa and Ana's birthday party. Bryce showing off his mad sitting skills while supporting his favorite team. The Redskins actually won on this day. Is that bar-b-cue that Bryce is enjoying? No he is drinking prunes out of a custard cup. Mmmm prunes. Why are we doing this? I have no clue, Rusty felt it was a good idea. It sure was funny.

Did Yoda ever look this cute? I don't think so. Fairy Princess and pacifier Yoda! A match made in heaven. Boooooooooo!!!! Guess which one Daddy carved? Yoda loves his excersaucer. And a bubble bath! We needed to mop the floor after this one. Scary, OOOOOOOOO..... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hey, It's all of us in one picture! A true rarity. What a handsome group. Kudos to Granddaddy Hood for taking it for us. Note our sweet couch. microsuede. yeah, boyeee....

It was a big week in music for all you fans of chicks from the 80's. Yes, Siouxsie Sioux is back with Mantaray, lookin' freaky as always, yet somehow still kinda hot in a weird goth way. She still sounds great, if not a bit dated. She's still got great lips. Then there was miss Lennox, also proving that she hasn't disappeared from the face of popular music. At least Rich and I still like her. She's still got a great voice after all these years. And guest appearances from Madonna, how many of you can say that? Ok, time to get a bit political. The above statement is one hundred percent true, by the by. There have been studies by independent polling organizations that prove it beyond a doubt. Sorry Dad. You can't argue with statistics. Nuff' said. Speaking of women of the 80's, I leave you with sideways picture of the love of my life at a tender, young, more plaid time of her life. Looking surprisingly like the boy if you look close. I couldn...

Enjoy the elegant violence. (I saw that on a bumpersticker about Rugby)

He was very serious during this whole thing.

Mom has a picture of me looking exactly like Bryce does in this one. I mean exactly. Ask her to see it next time you see her. Kim Bryce and I went to our first Fall festival last weekend. too bad it was like 90 degrees out. We made the best of it. We got funnelcake. Yeah boyeeee.... Daddy and Bryce in the outhouse. There's something you don't see every day. Oh wait, Kim sees it several times a day! At least at home i close the door. Sometimes.... The next day Kim, Austyn, Bryce and myself went to Butlers Orchard to buy concord grapes and caramels and honeycomb and look at pumpkins. It just kills me that Mom and Dad have that huge arbor with all those Concords just waiting to be eaten, and i have to buy them in Maryland. Oh well. Damnit Daddy, why you gotta go put me in with these stupid orange things when I can't even sit up on my own yet? Oh, and Go redskins! Ok, If Big Sis comes in with me then i'm solid. She's so cool. I love her. I can kick her a...

So, like September 29 was, like, national public lands day, like, ya know? And stuff. I went into the woods to pick weeds. It was great. I split off from the group and went to the scenic overlook of the Potomac and C&O canal trail. It was scenic. Probably 200 foot or so cliffs that looked down on what's left of the canal. sweet. Here's me trying to be all ansel adams. and stuff. This one is actually pretty cool. Surprisingly good for a little point and shoot digital. note the focus on the branches and the soft focus on the leaves. magnificent! there is a turtle down there somewhere. he was swimming in the green waters of the canal. Nice green trail flanked by big floppy leaved trees. and , like, stuff.

Being the huge sports fan I am, We decided to take in a Ballgame up yonder in Baltimore. The Yankees were in a series with The Orioles. See, don't I sound like I know what i'm talking about? Basically, for the Waldron family it was all about the food. We pretty much ate our way through the stadium. They serve Guiness at Camden Yards. What other reason do you need to go? Oh yeah, those guys running around down there chasing a ball around. Oh, and the KissCam, of course. Look, I'm drinking water. Wasn't I just talking about Guiness a minute ago? We actually got just about everything except the peanuts and crackerjack, though they were selling them. We got cotton candy.... Yeah boyeeee.... I can't remember what quarter it was, but that's Jeeter about to punt i think. We did miss kickoff, but we got to see a real home run where one of the Orioles hit it out of the park. The Yankees beat us like 11 to 3 or 4, it was pretty bad. Austyn was a bit worried t...

We had our 4month check up and lo and behold, there were Sweet potaters in my future!!! I loves me some sweet potaters. Quite often i love them so much that i feel the need to stick my whole hand in my mouth, pull some out and then smear it all over my face. Go figure. I'm only like 4 and a half months old people. The Boyz in the Hood are always hard...Come talkin that trash and i'll pull your card...Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit... don't quote me boy, I ain't said Sh*t..... Props to Dre and the rest of my homies. Back to the food. Have I told you how much I loved my sweet potatoes? You should see me when I get smashed bananas. More! I must have more! You didn't tell me that this food stuff was going to be so good! OOOOOOOHHHH. I need some tums.....Bring me a bucket.....

Sorry to take the lord's name in vain there, but it's true. So we have discovered that the only time he doesn't hate tummy time is when he is on his changing table. If that's what it takes... Sorry Jessica, no pictures of leg warmers yet, but we did order some other Bum covers. The flames are still our favorite though. This particular one has dancing frogs. Who wouldn't love some frogs dancing on their butt? AHHHHHHH!!!!!! MY PANTS DISAPEARED!!!!!!!! Now the world will see i have no butt. It's very flat. He may have a problem wearing jeans when he gets older. We may have to give him butt implants so his pants don't fall down. Please, if you meet him don't mention it. We don't want him to get a complex. Big Sis Austyn still loves to play with me and she even got to feed me. Not one to be shown up by my older friends (Mr. Emmet and Miss Sophie) and relatives (Miss Lilly and Miss Olivia), I too have been eating The CEREAL!!!! And I didn...

I don't know who they are. i found the pictures on my camera, and i though someone out there might be able to identify one or both. They look like desperate characters to me. I really need to get some sleep. They both rock the 'staches though.

We went to Chesapeake Beach on the Bay to visit with Auntie Jess. She was in town visiting her mommy who lives there. She also had the rest of the family there, so there were lots of babies everywhere. Bryce and Emmet had a good time not really looking at each other the whole day. Bryce really liked Emmet's swim trunks though. No, we don't tan him, that is his natural color. So here are Jen and Dagney, Kim and Bryce, Jessica and Emmet, and Jenny with Sophie and Maddy. Yeah, at all times there was pretty much at least one baby crying. Bryce enjoyed trying out other babies excersaucers. His feet didn't even touch, but he didn't care. Hey Jessica! We miss you and we wish you lived closer. It was really nice being around other mommies and babies that are the same age as us. Thanks Connie, for having us. And for the yummy crabs!

So, i'm leisurely paddling down the canals behind Dick and Joy's house on the kayak, and lo and behold i had a stowaway! This sucker was huge. Pictures don't do it justice. Bryce could have rode on it. and it was sitting by my leg the whole time and I never knew it until about half way home. It may have dropped out of a tree though. Thank god it fell in the boat and not on me. I would have abandoned ship i think. The canals are only like 4 foot at the deepest i think, but i woulda been walking home. Look at the size of that thing. It's like a dinner plate! Here's GrandDaddy Hood. He was reading a technical manual to Bryce, I think. Manly men in 50 SPF. I rather liked my bucket. that and staring at the flowers on Mommy's new suit.
