Lucy's House of Bamboo Dance

The Avant Garden

Our pumpkins

Lucy's parents like their music loud

We saw one like this on the Internet. Nothing original here, but well executed, I think.


Here is the vomit pumpkin all lit up.


Mine is kind of traditional. It came from an idea I saw in a North Carolina newspaper.


Here is Lucy's three-eyed alien.


Here they are side-by-side.

In the Chapel

Wedding videos

Another BFF pix



There's nothing like a swing with room for two ... or three.

Beautiful discovery



We were in North Carolina, just north of Charlotte, when we ran across these two pixies.

Lilah and Lucy became friends before they were born.

Nostalgic candy


Cheaper than plastic surgery!

Cutest kid ever


Louise turns on the charm.

She looks pleased


I think someone just said something nice.

How good do I have to be?


If Lucy was good at the wedding, daddy was going to spring for a Webkin... she got it.

What was the best part of the wedding Lucy?


The Chocolate Fountain perhaps?

Canadian Collision


(This song is the song Lucy wants me to play in the car while driving to her soccer games.)

I was watching Corner Gas last night on WGN. It is a Canadian sitcom based in Saskatchewan. Three of the characters in the show decided to reunite their high school band and determine that they can practice in a garage.
"There are already some local kids practicing there," one says.
"I guess I will give them the boot," another says.
When they get to the garage, the "local kids" turn out to be the Tragically Hip.
The star of the show, Brent Butt, says to them, "Don't tell me what the poets are doin', amscray!"

What the poets are doing is reference to the Hip's song "Poets."
It was a great night for Canadian Convergance.
Leaving for N.C. this afternoon. Back on Sunday.

Our Robots

A collision


Kids' soccer is a contact sport.

Some Kicks




It has taken four seasons, but Lucy is finally putting her boot to the ball on a regular basis.

The Throw in (a composite)



These were two different throw-ins, but it is a beginning and an end. Story complete.

Ballon animal closeup


Uncomfortably biological.

Annual Gift Man


He is already top-of-mind. So far the Holiday Barbie is leading, followed closely by anything Webkin.

Monster fish


It takes no talent to impress children.

cloudy skies


The skies don't look good over the Glenwood Soccer Complex.

Soccer practice shots



she came close on this one. It was just a drill.



Lucy comes out of the goal to make this stop.

My office view

The view from my office is not pretty.


But now I have this guy staring in my window!

Super Girl Revealed

You have to have a super-fast camera to catch Super Girl changing from her secret identity to her super-hero self.




New Camera

I have to stop taking picture of Lucy in the bath. But, truthfully, it is much easier to get her photo when she is in a confined space.
