Folk Thursday: Odetta

Today’s Folk Thursday entry was suggested by my mom, who also rustled up a Time magazine article that explains who Odetta is, in case you’re not familiar with her.

And just in case one dose isn’t enough:

Thanks, Mom….

Rugrats

Sorry for the long delay between posts. Things have been nuts around here. I trust you’ll find these awesome baby pictures worth the wait:

Are you sure this is Aunt Emily? She’s weirder than I expected.

(In very best Mr. Bill voice): “Oh, no! She’s gonna be mean to me!”

Maybe she’ll back down if I stick out my tongue and show her my fist. You want a piece of me? Heh. 

 

Safe in Daddy’s arms.

Calmly ignoring Jamie, who hasn’t yet figured out that little girls are fun to pester.

And just in case Hazel didn’t fulfill your recommended daily allowance of cute, here is a little something I call “The Many Faces of Jamie”: 

Happy couch potato …

… busy executive …

… Incredible Hulk (no, really — he’s been doing this since he was, like, two months old or something: We say, “Jamie, where’s that Hulk?” and he clenches his fists and shakes) …

… Kung Fu Panda (this is his impression of the title character from the movie … I think I made him do this about 30 times ‘cos it was so funny to watch) …

… and my personal favorite: indisputable proof that Jamie and Hazel would win all the costume contests if they dressed up as Calvin and Hobbes for Halloween.

Here’s a closer look:

I have no idea why he was making this face, but I’m glad I caught it with the camera, because it’s absolutely hilarious. 

Hope your week is hilarious….
