Valentines - Behind the scenes

First of all - it's not blood. He's not a zombie baby. And shame on you for thinking such things. He's just an innocent little baby boy (mmmm... brains). By now, all of you should have received the personalized home made valentines from Virg. But did you also know that a select few of these valentines were hand painted by Virg? Red finger paint is the current medium of choice for the artist formerly (and currently) know as The Virg. I was able to witness Virg at work in his home studio (AKA our hallway bathroom), and I can guarantee that Virg gives each piece of art his utmost attention and emotional gusto. If you did not acquire one of these rare (and eventually priceless) works of art, fear not! Now that Virg has mastered the color red, he's planning on including even more colors in his next artistic happening.

It's ART! You wouldn't understand...

Won't you BEE mine

OK - This will have to be the last Valentine's Day themed post. V-Day is over, and Daddy's having a hard time coming up with new ideas that are centered around valentines. When in doubt... go with the bee costume. It's probably safe to say that Daddy is obsessed with bees. Virg will grow up with Orchard Mason bees and Bumble Bees flying all over the back yard. Daddy (with the help of his bee loving nephew) even convinced Grandma to host a bubble bee house in her garden. Whoo Hoo!! And what could symbolise love more then a cute and fuzzy bug that works with flowers all day long.

I'm the King Bee - Gimme some sugar, baby.

The Virg of Valentines day

Virg wants everyone to have happy Valentines day. So here are a few classic pickup lines that the Daddy has passed on to Virg. These are Virg certified and should not be underestimated. They will make that beutiful person across the room fall madly in love with you, or reignite the passion of an existing relationship.

• This must be heaven, because I'm looking at an angel.
• Besides being drop dead gorgeous, what do you do for a living?
• I lost my phone number. Could I borrow yours?
• Here I am! What were your other two wishes?
• Was that an earthquake, or did you just rock my world?

And the ones Daddy used to win Mommy's heart.

• You make me hotter than sulfur hydroxide mixed with ethyl acetate.
• My love for you is a monotonically increasing unbounded function.
• You must be gravity, baby, because you’re the only thing keeping me here.
  
• Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?

Careful you don't break my heart.

Ah - to be in Paris and in Love

To make this a truly romantic blog entry, Virg traveled all the way to Paris to soak up the Love and rub elbows with the crustiest of the upper crust French populous. Maybe you didn't know, but Virg is real big in France. I mean just look at this photo. He's only 7 months old and already half as tall as the Eiffel Tower. Of course, with the economy being the way it is, and the need to use imaginary numbers to balance our checkbook, we couldn't afford a plane ticket to Paris. Instead, we just used a poster of the Eiffel Tower. But don't worry, that's a real fake rose he's smelling. To see another super authentic photo of Virg's exciting trip to Paris, be sure to follow this link and visit his new MS page.

A rose by any other name, would still smell just as...
wait this has no smell.

February - The month of LOVE!

Virg has decided to treat all his loyal Blog followers with a special Love theme for the rest of February. Yes I know - it IS better then winning the lottery. Sure, if you won the Mega Millions you could use that $50 Million to pay off all your debt, buy a few houses, dump a few million into some very worthy charities (like the National MS Society), and retire early. But a picture of the Virg is priceless.

A taste of things to come... Ladies

Music is the most fun!

Virg can be anything he wants to be when he grows up. If Virg is into sports - Dad will learn the difference between a touch down and a home run. If he's into computers and video games - Mom will learn to memorize all the "A - B - Up - Up - Down - B - B - A" combos that are needed to get past the hard levels so we can play along with Virg. But until then, Virg is an official member of the Hansen family band. We play every and any musical instrument we can find, and we don't mind if the chords don't harmonize every time. It doesn't bother us if the tempo changes seventy-seven times during a song. We absolutely love the fact that Virg is the star of the band and everything he plays sounds like gold to his Mom and Dad!

Start over!
Daddy keeps messing up on the fourth measure.
