name that song #3

Hint: This is not a children's song. Elliott knows more lyrics to this song than half the members of P. Diddy's first Making the Band attempt.

No? You make me very very sad...

can't leave well enough alone

Here is Maddie, perfectly content, chewing on the zipper of her hoodie.

Here is Elliott, about to throw a toy football at Maddie because he can't leave her alone if someone is paying attention to her.

Here is Maddie still chewing on her zipper. Her brother has horrible aim.

babies don't get much cuter than this

Cousin Evie had surgery today to reshape her head after the plates in her skull fused prematurely. You can read about it here and here and get further updates here. She no longer has an alien baby head, though she can never hide the fact that she is part extraterrestrial. I always suspected her mother was not from this planet and just looking at Evie after she was born confirmed this. I talked with Viv several times today and Evie is recovering well and should be home in a few days, ready to pursue her modeling career with her newly shaped noggin. We love you and miss you, Evie, and can't wait to kiss that round little head of yours!

update

Just went through our photo library and posted a ton of new photos. I posted them according to the approximate date that the photos were taken, not the date that the entry was posted so don't think that your computer is on the fritz because you've been checking the blog periodically and haven't seen anything and now there is stuff up from July. You're not crazy, I've just been busy. But thank god for grandparents who can watch kids while I get the house, my life, and this blog in order.
