Yup, first he’s losing teeth left and right… now he’s getting OLDER! Here’s a quick video of Brandon’s birthday serenade in our little apartment surrounded by Lego sets:

Here’s a couple of pics of the festivities as well:
Thanks to some potzer who pulled all of the “Downfall” parody vids off of YouTube (such vids which actually drove me to purchase the DVD of the excellent film), I am posting the video here for posterity’s sake. Fair warning: I created this for the weekly round-up of action in my fantasy football league (No Sleep McBain!) so the language is somewhat coarse and yet filled with inside jokes. Cheers!

Well, it only took about 9 years (with a 5-year hiatus in-between). Submitted the final papers and exams and now waiting for the grades. If all goes well, I’ll be walking in 10 days on the Villanova campus /whew
Anyway, we’re set to move to the Charlotte area in mid-June. More on that later as this site will likely become more frequently updated as the portal for pics/vids of the kids. Cheers!
This past weekend Car & I took the boys up to Grandma & Grandpa’s house in the Poconos with the intent on having them both receive their first snowboard lesson from their professional snowboard instructor Uncle Mike. On Sunday, we headed up to Blue Mountain, rented the appropriate equipment and set Brandon & Mike loose on the bunny hill (Zachary was too tired for the lessons and napped in the car instead). Here’s a brief video of their work:

And here’s a quick video apres ski of Brandon & Zachary in the car discussing their experiences (with the usual amount of shyness).

Here’s a quick shot of Brandon after his first game today. I have some video (which will take time to edit) but I can report that he played very well in his first outing on both offense (3 goals!!!) and defense (who taught this kid how to slide-tackle?!).
We’re all very proud of him!
And as promised, here’s a preliminary mash-up of some of the action (it’s >10 minutes long, so bear with me):

Here’s another shot of Brandon at work (courtesy of Carolyn):
Just a quick couple of photos of the boys at the beach. No zoom (used the iPhone, of course) but you get the idea.
At long last, picture uploads directly from the iPhone finally work. Don’t ask me why this is such a big deal, but the test worked and I am happy. That is all.
Real quick post here: a couple of pictures Carolyn took of Brandon while being dropped off and picked up from his first day at school. I need to edit the two movies she took of him getting off the bus so it’ll follow later. Enjoy!
Yeah, I’m the huge nerd you always assumed. I scored a black 16GB 3G iPhone on Tuesday and despite some snags, it’s working out pretty well. More on the Phillies game event to come.
Here’s a quick video of Brandon & Zachary doing “butt-flops” in the little inflatable pool at my parents’ place in the Poconos. Their usual venue for the butt-flop phenomenon is on their Uncle Michael’s trampoline, but it translates pretty well to the water… what do you think?
