Here’s an oldie but goodie that none of you have seen.
As you may have noticed, we allowed our mac.com account to lapse. No big deal, except that you have lost access to the pictures and video clips we had posted there. You can click on this link: baby battles beast for control of a vegetable or you can just push the play button above. Enjoy!

Hey thanks for the heads up on the video thing, I kept meaning to ask how you did it, but now I know and don't have to ask and can just act intelligent like I knew how to get there all along ๐ Also, so why can you not believe how darn cute my kid is, he is my kid after all and he looks just like his handsome daddy, my handsome husband ๐

Whew. Well. Here's my takeaway, now that I'm done laughing. The fact that Francis is still with us suggests that I can be less meticulous about washing my hands with antibac before I let RJ – who brings new meaning to the words "oral stage of infancy" – suck on my fingers… My brother was a football manager at Notre Dame in 1985 and 1986. Back in the days before wireless headsets, one intrepid student manager had to trail Lou Holtz during the entire game and make sure he didn’t trip over his headset wires. I’m sure there were other duties to this position, but that was probably the most important. 1986 ND v. Michigan State was Jeff’s game as headset manager. Jeff’s loving wife, Denise, found a copy of the game (on DVD no less!) and gave it to Jeff as a belated Christmas gift. Read the full story here. Correct me if I’m wrong, Jeff, but I think that’s Darryl “Flash” Gordon glaring at you. I just googled him to see what he was up to:
This information is from 2002, so by this time, he’s probably applying that glare to opposing counsel somewhere. Anyway, good job Denise! And Jeff, you were looking good!

Wow that is fantastic — what an honor. Jeff, any good stories from that day? Did Lou ever give you a "good job, kid" swat on the pants like one of the players? Gulde, if I find that photo of me in Simeon Rice's locker in 1996, will you post my brush with Div I greatness? The other day, I went to Roxanne’s to pick up Francis. Roxanne said to me, “all day long, Francis brings me books and wants to read them with me.” I asked if Francis first hands her the book, then backs up and sits down on her. “That’s it,” she said. Matt and I know that move well: you can almost hear the “beep beep” of a heavy truck in reverse just before she plops down your lap. Incidentally, “beep beep” is one of the few phrases that Francis can say. Ask her how the car goes, and that’s what she’ll tell you. The others: Mommy, Daddy, up, off, ga ga (means cookie), please (rare, and sounds like peas), eye, ba ba (bottle, not sheep sound), NO!, scout (sounds like scow), and baby (sounds like b-b). In this picture, Francis is reading about Dick and Jane by herself on the bottom step at our house. We’re pretty impressed with her patience; she’ll spend quite a bit of time going through a book page by page. Then she closes it, goes back to the beginning, and starts over again. Sign of progress: she doesn’t look at books upside-down any more. You know how different sets of parents sometimes talk about how their respective kids might end up getting together later in life? Well, it’s not going to happen here. If this kid ever shows up to take Francis out, he’s getting a knuckle sandwich. I know his dad, and he’s trouble.

I'm laughing out loud. Your wit is dry and shocking… and I love that you mentioned a knuckle sandwich. ๐ Have a wonderful evening! Love!! |

Kristen - I like hearing y'all giggle together… so cute!
Fulmer Fam - ok, so i totally don't know how to post the video like that, how did you do that? admitting I need help is the first step right?
Fulmer Fam - Ok, so I totally did that and it said something weird like your html does not work and would not post it, but on your wise advice I will try once again.
Fulmer Fam - so i still can't get it towork, it keeps saying error, by the way on the other ? I think it is just you.
