Ponies Ponies Ponies!

If you're a kid growing up in or around Los Angeles, there's a couple things that you are just GOING TO DO. The choo-choo and ponies at Griffith Park must be near the top of that list.

March for babies 2008





We had a great time at March for Babies. We got to sit in a firetruck and jump in a bouncy and watch the band. We also managed to raise close to $2000 for our favorite charity the March of Dimes!!

Hillcrest Montessori School Feb. 2008

Here is a picture of all the kids at the boy's school. Ms. Cynthia is their teacher and Ms. Paiva is the director. Ms. Charmaine works with them alot too and always gushes about Sammy, I think she may have a favorite.... Henry is in the middle down front and Sammy was placed strategically in front of Ms. Cynthia so that he didn't rush the photographer(she had to hold his shoulders!)

Joe Cools

Sam, Henry and their best buddy Janatan, don shades to prove that fashion sense is truly inbred (Mom is responsible for the Ronald McDonald color palette). Janatan is perfecting his knew move, "Doin' the V8." Don't doubt me when I tell you: ALL the A-Listers are going to start showing up in paparazzi photos with one hand slammed against their head any day now!

First School Photos!


Okay, these are only proofs (hence the watermark) and we don't have the whole school gang photo yet.. but I thought they were too cute not to be posted. Near as I can figure, the "prop" in front of the kids is to keep them from BLITZING the cameraman. Appears to have worked! Photos were taken by Bronsonphotography.com, who specialize in groups and proms and stuff, in case you're looking for someone for something like that.

...and manners too!

Claire and I were both thrilled and amazed to here THIS exchcange emanating from the family room while were finishing breakfast the other day.

Speaking of fish...

In addition to feeding fish (see previous post) Sammy and Henry have also been watching fish get fed, and get fed to other critters, at the Long Beach Aquarium. Henry seemed to like the Sea Lions best, Sammy of course was most entranced by the guitar painted on the wall leading into the cafe...

Keeping up with Friends

Okay, this blog has officially cast loose from the bounds of chronological order. This post predates the last post, but not the next post. So there.

The Friday after X-mas we took a drive with the boys up to Santa Barbara to see our friends the Brewer family (Dagmar, Tim and identical twins Kaja and Katrina) whom we met while staying at the Cedars Sinai NICU after Sammy and Henry were born (gee.. "staying at" sounds SO much more pleasant than that really was...) Other than seeing how wonderfully healthy and charming the girls are growing up to be, one of the highlights of the trip was FEEDING FISH! As you can see from the photos below, Sammy also sampled the fish food, and decided it was rubbish. Stupid fish. In the words of Charlie Tuna, they got "no taste."

Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa Mullen's house

Henry and Grandma took a rest while dinner was cooking.
And the orange tossing continued....
The boys loved the play kitchen that G & G gave them!!
Uncle Chris helped Grandma in the kitchen.
Grandpa wasn't feeling well so Sammy joined him resting on the couch.
