Bluegrass Buddies

I took Lolo to the largest Bluegrass festival in the world over last weekend. I was told that there were over 80,000 people in and out of the festival last weekend. I paid about $50 bucks to get us in and spent most of the time no soaking in the music but on the playground. Just goes to prove that I would walk the plank for Lolo.

My little niece turned 1 over the weekend and had just started walking. She walks several steps to either of her parents. My nephew Lucas was covered from head to toe is dirt and mud after playing about two hours on the playground- just the way he likes it.

Atticus demanded was a peckerhead at dinner tonight. The wife had cooked tortellini which they ate yesterday and put it in front of Atticus. He swept it to the side and said "No Like" and started screaming for "Pizza." Doesn't he know that Wednesday is pizza night?

Adrienne and Atticus are really talking a lot now. They can tell us what they want for the most part. A good part of their speech is still non discernible but there is even more now what we can understand. They love to say "Daddy have pooie." That is their favorite thing to say and laugh about. All three of them love to chime in when any one of them blurts out the saying. I always reply with "Nooooo Daddy doesn't have pooie"

I just got back from upstairs where Lolo had fallen out of bed and hit her head on a stool. She has a nice bump right between her eyes. Lots of tears involved with that one.

My (the wife's) Volvo V70 T5 has about 186,000 miles on it. I hope it lasts forever.

The business is now in the middle of undergoing C-TPAT certification implementation. Fortunately we are still making money in the environment of the media scaring teh shit out of everyone! The $3.50/gallon gas has been good for our business. The more oil that is drilled the more money we tend to make. Of course certification in C-TPAT will lower our initial profits but I am confident that it will pay more dividends in the end.

Temporary Sanity

This is what Adrienne and Atticus look like when they are not trying to wipe each other off the face of the earth.

A family that bathes together stays together

Lolo and her cousin Lucas love to take baths together. We had a big time in Charleston, SC two weekends ago.

Cousin Lucas

This is my nephew Lucas. He is quite a nuclear isotope of energy. He doesn't like clothes - we were just unlucky to catch him with a shirt on in this image. He loves to celebrate his birthday at least three times a month every month. Here is celebrating and his cousin Lolo was in the middle of a melt down for unknown reasons.

Lolo is growing up

Lolo is now four years old. Last week when I was out of the country on a business trip she learned on her own how to "pump" on the swing. She is a very sweet and well-behaved girl who has a very competitive relationship with her best friend Alyssa. This picture was taken on a trip to Charleston, SC that I took with my parents to a wedding.
