St. Patty's Day
Here's Zooey "enjoying" her first ever parade. (Don't worry, we put the canopy back over her as soon as the picture was taken. Two weeks is a bit early for a first sunburn, and anyway you know how those newborns can be real divas when it comes to their skin.)
This float wins the cookie! Behold, a worthy tribute to one of my favorite movies of all time.
What do these guys do? Apparently they scoop poop.
In case you can't tell, these young women are doing the "Thriller" dance in full zombie regalia.
Kids on unicycles!
Here's Dorothy, looking a bit mannish.
This parade brought to you by...um...green paint.
Asteroid Head Art Club. Why do these guys make me think of "City of Lost Children"?
Asteroid head up close.
Still more asteroid heads, with wagon.
And speaking of artistic expression, here's an original design of Zooey's. The subject matter is unconventional (a bird, maybe?), and you may notice she has used spit-up as a medium. That's our clever girl.

Wow...our St Pattys day parades here in PA don't have aliens OR pooper scoopers. Our locals really need to take it up a few notches.
Zooey vomit-art for the win! =)

Fantastic art work on Nick's t-shirt. Colleen and I were there, man...we feel you. I think Christopher got you once too while you were here that week, didn't he, Karen? Interesting parade, too. I forgot how off-kilter (or discombobulated)college towns can be when it comes to such events...the Asteroid Heads? Strange...strange, indeed.
I think they sell baby sunblock...
Ok, they don't...but don't fret. You guys had 80o weather there from what I hear...good for you.
She's beautiful as ever, guys...way to get her out of the apartment early!!

Andy--Our parades have very low standards for participation. The process is as follows:
A) Pay the entrance fee
B) Promise not to show up naked.
And I hear they're fairly flexible on B.
Thomas--As I recall, Christopher did get all Jackson Pollock on my shirt when I was there. (You can get away with a lot when you're as cute as he is.) Maybe he and Zooey can do some collaborative projects when they get together this summer!

Dude, you know you're smitten with your little sweetling when you're photographing their boot.
Is that a super old picture of us in the background on your fridge? I am honored, though feel we should send an updated one that more realistically depicts us as older, sleepier, toddler-er, and with worse hair.
Speaking of low standards and boot, once, in I think the first couple of days home with Gusbaby and the first day on my own with him, he spectacularly vomited all over my shirt, nursing bra, down my back, on my pants, and over a good portion of the sofa cushion. But he was also fussy, and I was an awkward new mom, and he didn't want to stop nursing or let me put him down for a minute so I got stranded on that couch, covered in baby-processed milk, for, like 3 or 4 HOURS until Matt came home and somehow rescued me. I remember staring out the front window at a mom who lived across the street and whose baby was several months older than Gus as she expertly got her kid in and out of the car seat and settled on a blanket in the yard--all without incident--I thought I would never get there. Luckily for all of us, I did!
