Happy Birthday Tom!!
•Saturday visiting friends to meet their brand spanking new son, Harvey (had to include the name as an infant named Harvey just kills me)
Named for Harvey Milk??
This weekend: cleaning house, playing with new puppy Cayenne, gardening and studying. Very domestic.
For tommyrot--hairless cats like baths! (At least, it looks like your favorite cat to me.)
Named for Harvey Milk??
Dude. I would wait around ALL DAY to offer that kid a bottle.
Named for Harvey Milk??
Nope. Mama wanted Johnny (after Johnny Ramone) but Papa outlawed any name that appears in the Bible (don't ask). Not exactly sure where Harvey came from, but they were fans of Lester originally (even after MoLester was mentioned), so hey, Harvey is great!
I want Scrappy's weekend. But I'm so glad she's getting it!
Named for Harvey Milk??
My first thought will always be "Named for a giant invisible rabbit?"
Harvey
They so need to get this kid a set (or several sets) of bunny footie pajamas.

These are punker parents, so they would need to be killer bunny footie pajamas (Clovis bunny baby PJs!).
Some scans of my dad I just did.
Age 10, in his Scout uniform, with his beloved Springer Spaniel, Jerry.
My Dad with his big brother, my Uncle Noel. Noel has just enlisted for WWII.
My Dad age 17, on the Tigard, Oregon baseball team. (They were the Tigard Tigers, 'natch.)
My Dad age 17, catching. (Emmett is a fourth generation catcher.)
My Dad's high school portrait.
My Dad doing his clown act. (Matilda's circus school love of the trampoline may be innate.)
More clowning. Winning over the crowd.
Couple bonus pictures. Matilda's middle name, Azalea, comes from my maternal grandmother, Prudence Azalea.
These are the only two pictures I have of her.
As a young mother with nice finger waves.
A few years later, showing more wear and the whole family looking like a Depression era photo out of Dorothea Lange. (That shot is from the late twenties or early thirties.)
Wow! I suppose it's too late in my life to Learn Everything About Cars so that I can become an automotive journalist.
Mom update: she's home but was taking a nap in her bed so I just chatted with my brother. Literally, she's not been able to lie flat for weeks -- she's been sleeping in a recliner, which hurt less. So being happily flat is big fat happy news.
