Greetings From Clogland

Mason recieved a postcard from Holland. It was from Grandpa. Grandpa is a world traveler just like Mason.


Mason loves mail. It is so nice to hear from family and friends.


and it is high in fiber.

Grandma to Visit Sacramento: Some Say Hoax

Drunk on gin? No, drunk on grandma love! And it ain't no hoax, folkx, Grandma's in town. Well she was in town just a few weeks ago, and she made quite a splash...


with her coins in the fountain adjacent to the Tower Cafe.


Mason and Grandma shared a grand breakfast of fruit and fruit with a side of grapes. It was delish!
Grandma rocks!

Piano Man?

We traveled to Los Angeles for a friend's baby shower (who, by the time of this post has already delivered her 7lb, 12oz baby girl). We also were able to see Jen's family while we were there (since we were staying with them. We tried to just hide out in their place and not be seen, but Mason's squeals of excitement gave us away. Babies. Sheesh!).

While on our visit, Uncle Chris broke out his keyboard, and after serenading the family with a saucy rendition of "The Final Countdown," he allowed Mason to have a go at the ivories (or in this case, the molded plastics).


My good friend, Ian would be proud of the intensity with which Mason attacked the little Casio. Look out, Chopin!



Towards the end of Mason's performance, he noticed that one key was just not up to par with the rest of them. So he removed it. Who needs C# anyway. The key of D major is highly overrated. Besides, I think we all prefer mixolydian modes! Am I right?



And though Mason was excited about the piano, his final verdict was one that so many of us realize in the end...


Guitar is so much cooler!

Tub Toy!

Mason loves his new tub toy. It has arms and legs, just like him. It has a nose and a bebo, just like him. It has eyes, ears, mouth and hair, just like him. His new tub toy loves the bath, just like him. He splashes it. He squeals at it. He slaps it lovingly. Yes, Mason is just enamoured by his new tub toy, but I am not sure his new tub toy is as excited to share the tub with such a wild, young boy.


Are you, Rylan?

Rock Stars!

A visit from "the fam" the other night brought about an impromptu show. Josh busted out the guitar and the partying began.

We had the dancing, singing, hippie-tie-dye wearing concert goers,



the exhibitionist/streaker,



and the young rock stars in-training!


Rock On!
