McIntosh Girls Dance Party ‘09

July 24th, 2009

This video goes to show that I did pass on my crazy dance a lot genes…

It is now understood that when daddy plays music the girls get to pick all the songs and I and just the hired DJ.

My favorite part of this clip is seeing Kelly and the girls dance around to I’m just a girl as though it was choreographed.

A Nice Sunday Afternoon In Early March

March 12th, 2009

Mia and Ellie on tricyclesKelly and I had Kelly’s brother and wife along with her mom and dad over for dinner last Sunday. But, before my father and mother in-law arrived the girls played with their cousin, Monty, in the drive way.

This was one of those weekends that lul you into a falls sense of spring; 70 degrees and partly cloudy. I’m not the only one fooled, the trees in our front yard started to bud. I’m old enough to know that spring in Indiana always has a surprise or two. I just hope it doesn’t snow again.

I Was the Second One Up Today

January 24th, 2009

I woke up this morning at 6:30. I’m now conditioned to listen to the noises in the house to see if the girls are up or not. This morning I hear that TV on in the kitchen. Ellie had gotten up, how early I don’t know, gotten dressed and was down stairs watching TV in the kitchen waiting for me to wake up.

This was kind of like the first night the child sleeps through the night, or when they learn how to get out of their room on their own. It’s just another sign that she is growing up.

Meanwhile, Mia and I were both slow to wake up. She takes after me there.

This morning made me remember when my mother (Hi Mom) showed me how to make my central in the morning by myself. This must have been after I got up early on my own and just went about my business. She would fill up a bowl of central and put a small cup of milk in the refrigerator for me to mix in when I wanted breakfast. I just wish Ellie liked the this kind of breakfast. I’d have to teach Ellie to use the toaster, skillet and microwave for here oatmeal.

Pearl Jam Ten re-release or reissue

April 14th, 2009

First things first, The Rant! "Ten" is a classic album and can't really be topped by a remix! To me "Ten" _is_ Pearl Jam (closely followed by Vs.). I graduated high school in 1992 and this was the album and sound track ...
