Common thread?

While you may have guessed nervous habits/dispositions, the correct answer is actually clapping. As if Vi needed to do more to endear her grandparents, she rolled out clapping, waving, saying hi (pretty much), sitting up, pulling herself up in to a stand, kissing and motation fast and furious in the short time frame we were in NJ. We would have been happy with a simple clapping monkey for Christmas, but instead we now have a daredevil living in a highly unbabyfied, albeit excitedly happy house.

Poser

The photographer yelled "strike some poses and make 'em snappy and sappy there sweet cheeks!" Vi obliged throwing these beauties out there quicker than she can swipe a book off the table, cram it in her mouth and eliminate it's resemblance to a rectangle. She did however feel the photographer a bit schwarmy and his assistant mentally unstable.

Livin' Lucky is What We Are!

While it was not Vi's first concert, it was her introduction to the live version of her favorite band, Paper Bird. She made me get there early so she could slip right up to the front and guarantee herself enough room to rock it back and forth (and she did!). With the first chord she was completely engrossed although at one point she did make a break for the tasty mic cord to her left. I don't know why she couldn't wait to eat. It wasn't like she waited out over night for tickets or anything...

Faces of the Day

Speaking of baby faces...

Field Operative Heyden

Not wanting attention to be focused on anyone but him, Heyden has thrown a campaign of unparalleled terror in to action. While it includes many of the old favorites, his real genius is the whole back story that continually re-supports his decrepit and deaf dog alibi. Taking advantage of every opportunity, despite serious time constraints, he has truly shown his mastery at deceit and stealth operations. Somewhere in this apartment is a little belt with an ever increasing number of hash marks where Heyden goes to laugh it up as his victories mount. If only he could still howl. Most recent attacks include: destruction of hospital bands from Vi's birth (located far above the normal height range), re-location of 5 pound flower pot in upright position over the top of a hard drive tower, decimation of large bag of Doritos (flaming hot variety; Herms fav), annihilation of 15+ rubbery nuks and elimination of one small Roman Senator costume (see below; wire never recovered).

We Three Have Wii

Like an 80's parent in search of a Cabbage Patch doll, Herms scoured an unknown number of retail establishments to raise his arms in an early morning victory with the acquisition of the Wii.
We are sure you will agree that Vi's sugar plum holiday dreams are now on the cusp of being fulfilled.

Should we become unrecognizable as a result of prolonged exposure, please refer to our alteregos.

Plebes Don't Hold It Against Us

Apologies citizens, seems Halloween pics were overlooked. The consul of younger was deprived its rights by the obligations of the elders to the Society of Denver Film. Senator Violet thanks you for your offers of candy. She has unanimously elected to partake next year.
