Yeah, we did it again. Amy is…underwhelmed. 🙂

New pics
Just in case you miss ’em, I slapped up a few new pictures today. Lots of goodness there, including the patented Idiot Swing and a few nice shots of Tru’s Hefalump traps.
Jailbait
I was taking a walk with “the boys” yesterday (“the boys” being Tru, Asher and Frodo). When Amy saw us coming home, she said we looked like a tower of boy, since Asher was hanging off my chest in a front pack and Truman was on my shoulders.
Anyway, on the way home we were passed by a cop car with a K9 dog in the backseat, who barked at us on the way by. Apparently this was a visual first for Truman. He was sitting on my shoulders and as soon as the car passed us he said “Heydad, I just saw a dog going to jail. That’s sad.” I was barely containing my laughter as I explained about K9 cop dogs.
My new name
My new name is “HeyDad.” Doesn’t matter how close Truman is to me, or whether we’ve just finished talking about something. When he wants my attention it’s “HeyDad…” It’s starting to get comical. I usually reply with “Hey Truman” but he’s not really picking it up yet. Amy just laughs.
Some highlights
So, we’re back! Just wanted to point out a few highlights of the trip. We were able to spend a day and a night with our old friend Hyun–even got to meet his wonderful wife Kyung and his awesome little son Dae Un (probably botched the spelling there). Amy’s school mascot, Spike, has his picture taken all over the world, so we did our part. At the Korean Folk Village they had some sweet swings…now I want to build one in our backyard! Also at the Folk Village, we saw some really cool folk dancers.
And, of course, we have lots of pictures of Asher…
Made it!
I’m sitting at our friend Hyun’s house, uploading pictures from our first meeting with Myung Hee. We met him yesterday and he’s…well, what can I say…he’s great. He’s full of energy, loves to jump and he didn’t cry when we met him. His foster mom is a sweetheart–Myung Hee is her 21st foster baby. She gave us a whole picture album of photos from when he was six days old up through last week.
Today we spent the day with Hyun and his family. We spent much of the day at a traditional Korean folk village…tons of pics on Flickr now.
Guess that’s it. More when we get home on Thursday…
God’s booty
This evening Tru asked whether God had a booty. I said, “Yes, the biggest” and that made him laugh.
On a less sacreligious note, more pics are up…including some Frodo action.
New pics
Amy chastised me for not putting up a post about new pics. So, there are some. You can go here to see everything I posted yesterday.
I added pics to a couple of categories: the Truman category and a new kidswithcameras category. I’ll be using the kidswithcameras category for pictures that Truman took.
Also, there’s a little graphic thingy down in the bottom left corner of this page. It gets updated whenever there are new photos.
Frodo!
We got a dog. His name is Frodo. He’s four years old. He looks like a full-on Border Collie, but he’s actually a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd/English Springer Spaniel mix. He’s a pretty laid back dude and I think he’ll fit in well at our house.
A former work colleague of mine was giving him away because they’ve got two dogs and one baby and it was getting tough to spread the love around. So we get to spread some love to Frodo. Not right now, but in a couple of weeks. We went to visit him today and we all love him, but we’ve gotta get the house dog-ready. That means putting in a couple of sections of fence in the back yard (even though he’ll be primarily an indoor dog).
Anyway, we’re pretty stoked. Here’s a picture of Frodo:
Famous like Amos
Well, not quite, but the Slacker Manager post about the 5-minute shoeshine did get picked up on an MSNBC blog today. You gotta scroll way down–just a few words and a link). That’s kinda neat.
