Oh, no! You damned sea-green porpoise! Give the pobble back his wrapper of scarlet flannel! He's going to lose his toes!

Sledding!

Emmett, this is a backhoe. Pop doesn't drive backhoes. Pop tells people where to drive backhoes. That's better.

Mr. Em, Tunnelman.

Playing ball:

Go deep, Ma.

Emmett just recently discovered pockets:

Okay, Nan. You may rub the belly now.

Does anyone know what a tapeworm is? Mom and Dad think I might have one. I guess they feel I've been eating a lot.

MOM! Give me more food!

I practice good dental hygiene, so I don't know why they are troubled by my man size portions of everything.

I also eat very healthily. Here I am enjoying plain yogurt.





As you can see I am rather svelte.

Can you believe mom tried to convince me that I have a yeast infection because I eat so much bread? It's because she wanted all dad's delicious pan co santi to herself. Unbelievable.


FYI - I skied far today, and fast - so I can eat whatever I want.

Now, why would someone use these things to eat slippery noodles...


when they could just sit and enjoy their third piece of toast for the day on Nana's lap? This is the life.

Whoa! Did someone make a mess?

I'll clean it up. I hear Nan's coming in two weeks. I need my practice.

Sledding in the rain is still sledding. My bigs are total woosies - with all their whinging about the weather and such. (My buddy Torin is coming in August, so I am practicing my Australian).

I really don't know what they are complaining about since they went skiing WITHOUT ME the day before.

Get a few brewskis in me and I'm the life of the party. I had Sweet As (more Australian practice).



We went to Hola for dinner. The bigs had these margaritas. The waitress offered me a straw too, but I told her I'd go with water. Someone had to be responsible. Side note: the waitress was beautiful and when I wasn't eating all the chips and salsa I put all my energy into flirting. It didn't take long before she was captivated by my charm!

Dad and Nana both had halibut, prawns, calamari, onion, and tomatoes wok-fried with chorrillana style sauce which was served with quinotto.

GUM had grilled baby back ribs smothered in a sweet and sour aif-amarillo BBQ sauce. The ribs were accompanied with causa (Peruvian infused key lime cold potato cake) and fresh salsa criollo.

Mom ordered tamales. I ate her whole dinner before she got a picture or to eat any herself.


I was still hungry after dinner so we stopped for gelato. Mom got anise flavor. I think it was so I wouldn't eat her dessert too. Good thing Nana had stracciatella and Dad had coconut. GUM smartly kept his distance.

I needed to burn off some serious calories after the night before's dinner, so Mom, Dad, and I ran ~6 miles and somehow our run ended at the PLAYGROUND! I am so over the baby stuff. I now climb tall, steep ladders...

to ride down the big boy slide by MYSELF.

I am a total hot shit.

Clearly not satisfied with his Fiskars reel mower, Em takes a John Deere for a test drive. (Note the cartoon pants. Someone pooped through his pants at school today!)

Jacket? Check. Elf hat? Check. Gloves? Check.

Come on bigs, we're going outside.


Dad, tickling a pint-sized, carrot-topped Larry Flynt:

Sometimes Em needs some hugs before he's ready for his oats.

First big-boy toothbrush:

What are you looking at, punk? Touch my toast and I'll snap your neck. Try me.
