That's Bob Dylan

More than once now William has pointed at Lillian and said "that's Bob Dylan". We don't know where he got that! William loves his little sister. He has been picking on her some though- so far he bit her ear, her nose, and her foot. Nothing too serious, but boy did she scream! We have to watch him every second. Hopefully he'll get used to her soon and we can all relax a little. I wonder if he'll teach little "bob dylan" to play guitar someday..... he has a guitar, mandolin, harmonica and kazoo. He wants to be in a band like his daddy.

Lillian's first bath

Lillian is 5 days old today. Her umbilical cord fell off this morning so she had her first real bath. She really liked it! ...until the water got cold.
William was ready with the lotion and anxious for us to finish her bath so they could take a ride in their new double stroller. It was a relatively cool day today and they had fun. She is such a sweet baby. We just love her!!

lillian to earth

The big day finally came. Now I know that this is not the best picture of me, but I like it just fine. This is my brand new daughter, Lillian Christine. At this age she looks alot like her older brother, William, but I think that will probably change as she gets older. If you look really hard just above Lillians face you will see just a little bit of my new tattoo as well. Maybe I should have a special post for my tattoos, but that will be another day.

Camping

Some pictures from a camping trip earlier this summer. William had a great time!

Lookie My Got, Mommy!

William wants to thank his "aunt" Karen for the presents yesterday. As he opened each one he said "Lookie my got, mommy!" which means "look at what I've got!". I will post a picture very soon. He has also starting saying "nice to meet you, mommy!".

close to done

Well, it's been a long time coming. You may remember, if you've been following along, that I have had a project motorcycle. This is my 1982 suzuki gs650glz. This motorcycle rolled of the japanese production line just 3 months before I was born. If you are looking closely you may notice the brake line just kind of hanging to the side in picture 1. Well, this is because of the totally awesome handlebars I have put on it, I just need to add a little bit of brake line. I am waiting on the last of the parts I should need to actually get it running. I wish this were an American made machine, but as they say beggars can't be choosers. I am also excited because dad just bought a 1979 harley custom chopper. I will be blogging again when something exciting happens. Josh

I'm in a band.....

Yesterday William (2 yrs, 3 months) picked up his mandolin, sat on the couch- and banged on some strings. Our conversation went like this:
Wm: Wanna play mandolin. I'm in a band.
Me: What kind of band are you in?
Wm: Mine!
Me: Is it a bluegrass band?
Wm: No. orange
A few minutes later.....
Me: What kind of band are you in William?
Wm: rubber!
