well balanced diet

The doctor recommended last week that the kids can now eat pretty much whatever we want to feed them, with a few exceptions. It did not take Bo and Bleu long to share some of their Dog Chow with Wells.

...man, this stuff is pretty good, and I don't have to be strapped into the highchair to eat it!

In the shade, out of the sand and on cousin Zena's lap is how Anne Lawson enjoys the beach.

 

back to the beach

The ladies really dig my new swimtrunks. If Mommy did not make me wear this silly hat, there would be several hotties fighting to rub lotion on my back right now.

city stages '06

Anne Lawson shows off her credentials as "the little VIP".
Already showing evidence of hip-hop influence, Holland describes this year's City Stages as being off the hizzle.

It would not be a festival without the corndogs and gyros.
