Slack Factory 2008

Boy, 2008 sure has gotten off to a blazing start on the blog, hasn't it? One post. And everything in that post happened last year. I'm lame.

But we're back in business.

Let's start with New Year's Day. Antonio realized he was looking kind of shaggy, so he made an appointment to get a haircut. She didn't even need to use a bowl.You might be asking yourself, where did Antonio get those fancy duds? Those were a Christmas gift from Uncle Rod that he picked up on one of his many trips to faraway lands. (Like Hong Kong, Thailand, and Sacramento). Antonio's growing so quickly, he probably won't fit into them by Chinese New Year's, so he wore them for regular New Year's.

The compliments were coming his way fast and furious.
We stopped for a New Year's brunch at the Smorsmas' new house. It was a lot of fun, and Antonio got to play with some kids his own age. But then Antonio had to play with kids much older than him. First he gave Uncle Rod a kiss for giving him the cool outfit and to wish him a happy birthday on the 2nd. Then, like the flirt he is, he made a move on Uncle Rod's girl.Rod was jealous, but he knew he stood no chance against the pure machismo that is Antonio. He really loved Aunt Virginia, and I think she was pretty smitten with him, too.

So that was the 1st. Since then, it's been a lot of Daddy time. A bunch of Mommy time. A bit of Laurie time. Some grandparent time. And even a trip to the playroom at the YMCA. We were worried that he wouldn't like being left in there while I went to work out, but he only got upset when it was time to leave.

See you all again in a few months when I get around to blogging again. (Deb just hit me, so it'll probably be sooner than that.)
