Wyatts Blessing Day!

Today we blessed Wyatt at church. My mom gave me my blessing outfit for Alex but he was to small to wear it. So Wendy tried it on Wyatt and it seemed to fit. It's kinda wierd and nostalgic to see my second son in the same outfit that I wore almost 30 years earlier!
Wyatt was very content up on the stand with all of us holding him, all wide eyed and just looking around. Probably thinking "What's going on?"
We tried to buy a blessing outfit here in Ohio, but there was not a store around that had anything remotely close. I though maybe Wendy would go for a Boston outfit...but to avail!
The only thing I got my way was the removal of said HAT. Anyway, I think my young Grasshopper is quite a ladies man!

Wyatt the Great Possum!

Ok, so I go get myself some yummy ice cream and put it down by a sleeping Wyatt to go do something. I leave the room and come back and it seems like Wyatt was playing posum, he was just waiting for the opurtune time to pounce on the yummy goodness that is peanut butter ice cream. This might accoun for his increase in bodyweight 8lbs 12oz.
Every now and then I'll be holding "His Fattness" and he'll get this wry grin on his little face. Is this just reflex or was it intentionallike he's planning to fill his shorts in the next few moments. Which he did do.
This Sunday we are blessing Wyatt at church...family were not able to come during thanksgiving so we are going to go with it this week. Now he'll be officialy known as Wyatt the Gunslinger! Ok, ok, so Wendy wouldn't go for all that, so it's just Wyatt Freeman Hill (Esquire).
One thing that is unique to Wyatt is that he doesn't really cry...we call him Sir Gruntalot! He just grunts like a champ!
Anyway, I thinks I need more peanut butter ice cream, so that's all I have to say about that.

Yanks For The Memories

There's a sad sort of sighing
From the people in the stands,
Along the folks in New York too.
And up in the Box Seats
The absurd little “Boss”
Is saying to Torre…
Goodbye, Goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye) Regretfully they tell us
(Goodbye, goodbye) He lost us the ALDS
And now they say “Your Fired!”
(Goodbye, goodbye)
To Torre


So long, farewell
Goodnight
I don’t want to leave the Yankees!

So long, farewell
Adieu, adieu, adieu
To Jeter, A-Rod, and Abreu!

So long, farewell
I'd like to stay
And try to win the Pennant

So long, farewell
It’s the end of an era…
And now say goodbye
Goodbye!!!

My Little Boston Slugger!

Ok, I just want to take a sec and just brag on my baseball team here the BOSTON RED SOX! Not only are they in the ALCS they pulled a repeat of the 2004 ALDS, sweeping the ANAHEIM ANGELS in 3 masterfully pitched games.
So to celebrate I went out and purchased myself a decent RED SOX ball cap. As you can see my son Alex also loves to support pappa's team. Yes, he is very young and impressionable, so we introduced BOSTON early!
Wendy tries to get him to root for the YANKEES, but it's like Barney you don't let it in the house if you can help it! http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=bos
