BAM - Procrastination

Because it is 11pm and The Gardener is doing the final procrastination measure to NOT have to get on the treadmill (aka dreadmill), you all get the treat of more photos!


Who cares if there are little kids looking for the eggs? The adults were all about being competitive!












Lovely picture of Lady Rainbow and the Mimis.

More pics to come another night, and even a video!

BAM - An Easter Visit

Lady Rainbow and the Mimis (MiMac and MiMuffa) made the trek up from Texas for Easter. TG&TG had 5 wonderful days with them.
Some of the not so ordinary and ordinary adventures included: Easter egg dying and hunt, Hannah Montana movie, traditional cookie bake and frosting, T-Rex Cafe, sidewalk chalk, visit to The Meyers on Easter and dinner at the plaza, visit out to The Birdman's house where the Mimis played with The Karate Kid for a little bit (while The Gardener got a Birdman fix), walk at the arboretum, Barbies, Justice League, and Clue. The list could go on and on.

The Golfer enjoyed having his sis here and The Gardener and Lady Rainbow got some good girl time in (you're crazy Rainbow - seize the moment!!). TG&TG were sad to see them go. The whole cheek pinching thing makes sense now. Actually, that was realized a couple of years ago with Mistletoe and the KyleMAN although this visit just reitterated things.

The Crazy Neighbor Kids (who are now famous models...saving that for another post) were terribly excited and could not wait for the MiMis to arrive! Althought time between the CNKs and the MiMis was limited, they certainly made the most of it. Here are just a few pics as it's bedtime and we've not won the lotto yet so have to work tomorrow. More pics will be posted another time.

BAM - Birdman Update

The Birdman reaches 5 months old this week and has just topped the scales at 10 pounds. He's such a cutie! Birdman's Grandma Betty has been in town for about 3 weeks which is cutting into The Gardener's cuddle time big time. However, TGa is very understanding as GMA Betty lives in DC so she's soaking up every second she can get with The Birdman and The Karate Kid.

The details on Birdman's heart surgery have changed and all surgery will now happen at once. He's got two appointments this week (one today and one tomorrow). Hope to post the latest on him soon. Thanks for all the prayers!














The Golfer enjoyed some cuddle time with The Birdman in February.

BAM - Signs of Spring

TG&TG are very far behind on blog updating and tonight seems to be "the night". Here's the proof that a gardener really does live amongst us. Pictures really don't do it justice (proof that a photographer does NOT live in this home).











BAM - Transplant Update

An update on The Cali Lawyer and The Super was published in the Orange County Register.

BAM - Blogs

It's official...The Gardener has become a blog junkie. It's amazing all the great blogs out there that can be linked to from other blogs. People are doing AMAZING things through blogs, including awesome charity work and then there are those earning a living by blogging about their ordinary adventures. That would be TGa's dream, to blog about travels and have a great following. Alas, fabulous travel bloggers already exist so the moment has passed. Perhaps the correct term for TGa is blog groupie. Imagine the surprise when one of TGa's favorite bloggers was on Oprah last week! Blogger favorite made it to Oprah - WOW!

BAM - Pirates!

Spring Break and raining....what to do? Our Godsons in Florida have amazing imaginations and a fabulous Mom and Dad who foster their creativity!














One day they were pirates, superheros (Spiderman and one of the Incredibles) on another day and there's even a video of their "Jonas Brothers" performance for grandma and grandpa!

Great parents, great kids! Love you guys!

BAM - The Proof

New kidney on Saturday, home on Monday. Lookin' good, Lawyer, lookin' good! Thinking about you and The Super - wishing you both sunshiney days and a speedy recovery.
