Hip Hop Henry

Speechless.

January Through Caroline's Lense

We've said it here before.

January is a BORING month. 

The holidays are over.  It's flipping cold out.  Up here on the North Coast of the United States, the lake is nearly frozen and, as a result, the "pretty" lake effect snow is replaced by day after day after day of cloudy skies and twenty degree temps. 

It sucks.

January is also a depressing month.

Don't believe me?  Click here.

You can see what January does to us here in Poogieville.  We have resorted to namecalling Henry's soccer coach (again, sorry dude) and posting Michael Caine videos. 

Admittedly, we are a mess.

Last year, we posted the randomness of family pictures to pass the January blahs.  I liked that theme.  Therefore, we again welcome you to view more random photos.

This year's edition comes from Caroline's first camera.  She got a V-Tech digital camera for Christmas.  She's taken 468 pictures since then.  We downloaded all of them.

Enjoy!

A self-portrait.

Maybe Grandma's best picture of the year.

A two week old Will (with hair).

Apparently taken before Caroline got laid out.

Grandpa says cheese.

It's hard to snap a picture of the fast moving Joey.

Mom & Henry

Using Michael Caine Humor to Pass the Time

It's been a long cold winter here, but this makes us laugh.

The Bill Holman of Youth Soccer Coaching

Henry has officially started his 2011 soccer campaign.

He's got a stat sheet nerd as a coach. 

Coach Larsen, if you are reading this, I would say the same thing to you in person.  It isn't a bad thing.  Just something that does not make those of us parents, who don't find the number of times your seven-year old strikes a soccer ball, very interested.

My brother would love you, though.  After all, who else would keep statistics of a co-ed U8 soccer league AND post the statistics on the Internet?

My brother would, that's who.
