O'Flaithbheartaigh

Nicole will sure love this one.

Depending upon the website you check, Lafferty originally appeared as O'Flaithbheartaigh. Stephen did research ONCE and found O'Flaherty as an origin.

Regardless, Nicole likes to point out that Joey is about 80% Italian. And speaking of Italian and name origins, my favorite is Nicholas Martello who we all know as Edgar Hammer.

Regardless Regardless, Happy belated St Patrick's Day. Here's some pics from the uneventful day. More bibs Mike.

Look Out World

Here I come!

Hi Everybody. Hope all is well. Things are good here other than the blog being slow. I should have a few new posts this weekend. Some exciting stuff. Stay tuned...

On March 14th, Joey turned 9 months. Here's a few pics.

Thanks.

Family Fotos Fand Fa Few Favorites From February

FI Fried Foo Fart Feverything Fith Fan F Fif Fou Fidn't Fotice.

If I ever missed any of your birthdays I didn't do it on purpose. As I mentioned on Dana's blog, the end of Feb and beginning of March is a busy time for birthdays which include Uncle Skippy, Stephen, Aunt Maryanne, Mom Mom, and Jimmy. The best part is that Uncle Skippy has had the least actual birthdays. He was born on a leap year. I pulled out a few favorites for the blog. I hope you enjoy. Please let me know if you do not want your picture up.

Also, I included a few more favorites from Feb.

Last, I hope you all have contracted Spring Fever. I can't wait for stupid winter to stupid end. Fupid Finter.
















THAT'S MICHAEL LOUIS

Where Do You Think You're Goin?

Even though they are the competition, State Farm has a great commercial with a kid that grabs his leather jacket and a set of keys, and tells his father that he is going to work. Google it, youtube it, whatever, but it is worth a look.

In a similar fashion, I was leaving for work the other day and Joey became obsessed with my Swimmy, Swammy, Samsonite Briefcase. So, we let him check it out.

Classic!

What the heck is a Papasan

I'm still not sure.

We've all watch Joey grow over the past 8 months. At this point, he still has a chance. This weekend, as a rite of passage, I put his swing away in the garage at Wyncliffe Heights. The swing served its purpose and was a safe haven for naps for many months.

Thank you Swing.

We Have To Go Back Already?

Yup, back to Daddy Day Care.

I stayed home again and spent the day with my son. I lost some days last year and my company does not pay me for them. It is not good to take off at the end of the year. The bottom line is that you may see more Daddy Day Care down the road.

Just as last time, let's take a look at how the day went down:

One of Joey's favorite things is to rollover when he is getting changed. Here he is in the morning not cooperating.



If he doesn't want to cooperate, I usually let him do whatever he wants. While I do not like Adam Sandler, think of him in Big Daddy when he lets Frankenstein do whatever he wants. Here's our little Frankenstein eating breakfast without his clothes buttoned again.



Time to play. Batter Up!



He's almost there:



After play time he took a nice nap but I didn't get any pictures this time.

Lunch was really good. Joey ate all of his green beans. DEEEE Licious. Alright bud, time to clean up like a good boy.



After lunch, Joey went to the bathroom again but this time there was no tylenol involved. There are no funny pictures either.

Next, it was time to listen to the A-Rod press conference. This steriod thing has been bothering me. The most interesting thing is that the only person that appears to be telling the whole truth is Jose Canseco. If the list is revealed, I hope Griffey is not a part of it. Here is a pic of Joey taking in the event.



Just like last time, it was 5:03 and Mommy walked in. So much for me being vein, but here is another picture of me defeated and in the evil cluthes of our Young Frankenstein.
