Larger than life

Sure Virg is cute, but some people would make the argument that most things, when they are small, are cute. A small dog, a small cat, a small shot of Chivas Regal Royal Salute, 50 Year Old whiskey. But what if Virg were bigger than you? How about as big as a house? Would you still think he was cute as he was reaching down to pick you up and stick you in his mouth? I think that the cuteness of Virg transcends size. Sure you would be terrified for your life, but instead of screaming "AAAAARRRRRGGGG", you would be saying "awwwww, he's sooo cu ..."

GET IN MY BELLY!

Our little tax credit.

Is it wrong to put a price on a child? OK - but if YOU didn't set that price, is it wrong to accept that price for a child? OK - but if you accepted the money with the intention of saving it for the child's college education? That's what I thought, but I'm taking the money anyways. If money is the root of all evil, I bet it tastes just like a parsnip. Who in their right mind would turn down a parsnip? And more importantly, if money is the root of all evil, what is the leafy green of all evil? I'll bet it's Arugula!

You're a little short Daddy.

I better not find another receipt for a new ukulele!

A family that eats together...

A wise man once sang - "Traditiooooooon, tradition..... Tradition!". He also danced a cool little dance, but that's beside the point. This past Monday was Virg's Great Grandpa's birthday. So the Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa all got together to raise a glass in his honor. As we can see, Virg had taken the traditional spot of his namesake at the head of the table.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREAT GRANDPA!

Hey - where's the steak?

Kiss me - I'm Irish

Well... mostly Norwegian, but the cool thing about Norwegians is that if you put green cloths on them, they think they're Irish. As we can see from this photo, Virg is wearing his green Irish clover socks and Irish drool bib. From what I've heard, this is very common attire for a good Irish party. You may be asking why he isn't wearing more clothing than just his socks, a bib and underwear. All I can say to that is that it's truly amazing how fast a son will imitate his father.

Kiss me I'm Irish??

When will you stop trying to justify your attraction to me?

Virgapalooza

On Sunday, Virg got his very own piano. Daddy is a sucker for small musical instruments. This is actually a very cool mini piano made by Schoenhut. According to their web site their piano's are "famous for their excellent quality and unique chime-like tones." Virg gave a great concert. He has a good rapport with the fans. He'll open with a funny monologue, play his hits, tell a few jokes, and ends with a big finally that leave the crowd screaming for more.

This is kind of a big video, and I'm not sure how well this is going to work on the blog, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
