Sand between my toes!

Frank's Barber Shop!

Looks like Frank's Barber Shop is open again... where advice is cheap, haircuts are free, and the customer is always right!

Frankenstein Returns

The Frank returned to one of his favorite places today - Holland Hospital!
Land of lights, cords, people AND bubble gum smelling knock-out gas!

After 4 months of ear infections (and sleep deprived nights for his wonderful parents) we decided to have tubes put in Frankenstein's ears... watch what you say, he can hear you now!

Let's Go Red Wings!

11:03 PM - We hear a noise, so of course we check it out...
Sure enough, Wing Boy was downstairs, "Front Row", watching the game!
How he got out of his crib, dressed, down the stairs, figured out how to turn on the tv, or change the channel is beyond us.
(note: we cropped the pretzels and beer out of the photo)

You should see the other guys!

We are so proud of our little bruiser. He needs a little practice in the coordination department!

When you gotta go...

You gotta go!

One step at a time...

No, I'm not walking (yet) but I did carry Papa all the way up the Saugatuck steps. These steps go to the top of the dunes overlooking Oval Beach.

One for the ladies...

And the Chicken goes too...

Dear Grandpa ~ Follow my clue,
You'll have a surprise waiting for you!

#1
I kept this house warm when it was new,
No I'm not sick, but I've got a flu!

#2
You're getting hot, no maybe you're cold,
I sound like a screaming moose I'm so old.

#3
So you're pretty good at this game you think?
Test your nose and follow the stink!

#4
I'm not a delicious hamburger from White Castle,
...but I was installed by a certain Grandpa without hassle.

#5
Told not to play with matches when you were three,
There you are on the wall for all to see.

#6
I can be sweet, I can be sour...
Open me for happy hour!

#7
I'm not from Wrigleyville but I'm a cubbie through and through,
When the 807's run low, you know what I can do.

#8
Don't be chicken, you can go outside.
Watch out for the possum and get some NaCl.

Congratulations Grandpa ~
Like Nero Wolfe you've solved them all,
The chicken is yours for a remarkable fall!

Colin's spending the night!!!

Frankie got a couple days to hang out with his buddy Colin. Two days his junior, Frank the Tank was trying his hardest to keep up Motor'n Moran...

I Love Water!

Swimming in it...
Bathing in it...
Splashing it...
Watching it...
Listening to it...
and yes... drinking it!

Knee high by the 4th of May

...or chin high in Frankie case! Only a few days left until Tulip Time 2008. The Klompen Dancers have been practicing and the traffic on Tulip Lane is picking up. See you Saturday!
