Fambly tradition

Baby-sister Celia Marie brought me a new fire truck!

Momma's Little Helper

Momma needed some help pushing the new baby sister down the hall from the nursery. In the days to come John-Henry would prove himself the best little helper around.

Is this seat taken?

Look at the beautiful chair Momma made! When we got it home, HK tried to chew off one of the screws and Edward Popsiclehands reached for the fabric, but order was quickly restored. After two full days of staplegunning, Momma didn't need a lullaby.

Great foreign coverage, sure, but no funnies

Every morning, John-Henry helps Daddy get the papers out of the yard. This morning, John-Henry expressed a preference:
"Choo don't want the Statesman. Choo need The Times."

Happy birthday!

Whose birthday is it, John-Henry?
"John-Henry."
No. Guess again. He drives a red car.
"Pops!"

The Young Lawyer

Scene 1. Interior living room day. The Young Lawyer does not want to put on his shoes.
TLY's Mother: "We're going to the playground. Have you ever seen anyone walking around on the playground without any shoes on?"
TLY: "John-Hen-ah-ry."

Scene 2. Interior kitchen day. The Young Lawyer and his mother return from the grocery store, where TLYM has purchased cupcakes, promising TLY he can have one after lunch and a nap.
TLY: "Choo need one."
TLYM: "What do you need?"
TLY: "A cupcake."
TLYM: "What did mommy say about the cupcakes?"
TLY: "Choo can have one."
