DrMark's New Woman

Her name is Amy. She is very old (45) and eats a ton of salad.

As Simon Cowell would say, having said that, she is 5 notches better than that miserable broad Brenda.

If this lasts, look to see her initiated into the family by dancing with UJ at the wedding.

Speaking of UJ, why would anyone (like TimL) think he needs his wardrobe regulated?

Below are some pics of him at Maggie and Ryan's.





UJ was getting a facial,chemical peel, or some sort of metrosexual indulgence.

Why was UJ getting this? Well, one of his favorite expressions is When in Rome...

Remember that Ryan is a candidate for chief family metrosexual. He did go with the women to get his nails done for Kevin's wedding.

Anne's Addendum

Anne wanted this pic added and wrote,

"This is my baby and below is his babe."

I am not sure what that means.

Anyway, of all the heroic manly things that Steve does, Anne wanted to capture him in this emasculating state of dishwashing enthrallment.



Update on the stiff TimL.

Supposedly TimL bought a new car, allegedly a Jeep. Though he won't send a pic to verify it, perhaps it is a lavender Subaru.

Incidentally, DrTom drives a Subaru as well to show his support for lesbian rights.

Tim's parents are going to visit him this weekend. Tim actually has imposed wardrobe regulation on UJ for the trip. Seriously, he has given Helena instructions on what his father can wear down there (e.g ."no shorts").

Anyway, there is likely to be some blog material produced by this visit and I will be sure to get "both sides" of the antics.

Speaking of the UJ and the Mean Sister, they recently got rid of call waiting on their home phone. They are absolutely going backwards, soon they be moving into a cave.

Can you imagine how they can't use the phone when they are expecting an important phone call?

That is so 1980, like Vanda's trash can.

MY PERFECT GRANDCHILDREN

Now that all the "Aunties", as Tim calls us, are "Grammies" my three sisters are getting to be a little out of line with how beautiful their babies are. I did it first and here is the evidence I did it best. I don't have a current picture of Trish but here are the crew from Pennsylvania. They are now 13, 11 and 9. They have two "puppies". I took these pictures during a visit a few weeks back, we were helping to make a chlorine atom out of playdough and the dogs went to obedience class.











DanL adds,

Let's hope that obedience class doesn't result in the dogs getting run over like Vanda's graduate dogs.

Mark Jr Update

LizL writes:

Well these days junior tips the scale at 20lbs and as you can see from the pictures he is really starting to thin out, ha. Mark is a happy little guy. He smiles and laughs a lot and he squeals when he is excited. He has zero interest in rolling over or crawling, but he sits and stands very well, I guess he is trying to skip a few steps, we'll see. With all the toys he has he is most interested in paper towel rolls and plastic bowls, go figure! :)

Side notes.

DrMark begged for posting priveleges on the Family Blog, they were duly bestowed on him but he is yet to so much as post a picture. C'mon DrMark, at least send a pic of you skiing down Brokeback Mountain or something.

Also CathyF, computer illiterate that she is, has mentioned to the webmaster that she would like to reserve some names. She insists that she is without child but this is a tell-tale sign that she may be next.

Out of the pool of FFWs (Fertile Family Women) everyone should place their bets as to who will be next after InezL.

FFW Pool

CathyF
MaggieS
LizL
Maureen
KatieW
Louise
Sarah
Vanda

I bet on Vanda.

Anyway, CathyF and DanF's reserved names are.

Boy - Percy, Buck, Ned, Seven.

Girl - Hilda, Mildred, Shamiqua, Soda.
