HRQ and her boys

HRQ

No matter how many pictures we took, I could NOT get my boys to both look at the camera at the same time. You'll just have to believe me when I say they are by far the most beautiful children on the planet. x:D

We are sitting in the lobby of the preschool my boys attend. The figures in the background were part of our float in a local parade. My HR Hero shirt was large enough to fit all three of us at once, so I opted to just let it hang in the background. It'll make a nice sleep shirt though. x;-)

Wonderful picture, HRQ! Welcome to the picture poster's posse and revel in the dubious distinction that you and your boys will be gracing a calendar.

Just an observation: The boy on the left looks a lot like Ray probably did when he was young... hmmmm.... x;-)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-23-03 AT 11:14AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Great pix! And lovely children - well, perhaps in your mind lovely is not quite the word. Urchins may be more like it. They look adorable and I'm sure they keep you REALLY busy.

PS - hope the surgery allowed you to finish up Christmas before it all went down.

sonny

Great one!!! Thanks. Bet those boys keep you hopping.

marc

Those boys look like 2 handfuls. Bet they keep you busy. Great picture.

Great picture, HRQ. And the other boy looks like Beagle. I bet Beagle is really mad now that I'm your new best friend.

Sonny... IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!

Parabeagle

Yeah, but I'll bet YOU don't have a Spongebob Squarepants necktie. HRQ likes those.

HRQ

Come to think of it, Michael and AJ antagonize each other much like the both of you do.

AND Michael lords his Spongebob undies over AJ, much like Beagle is lording his Spongebob tie over Ray a.

AND you say my boys resemble Ray a and Parabeagle.

I'm wondering if maybe you two are my two long-lost brothers. Time for a heart-to-heart with my mom... I'm scared.

Parabeagle

Let me put your mind at rest, HRQ. I was a LOT more blonde when I was your boy's age than Ray would have you believe. He's just trying to scare you.

But I have to admit, your post does make it feel a little like walking into the Twilight Zone! :-S

ray a

Well HRQ, I'm probably way too old to be your brother... maybe a long lost uncle. And Beagle isn't far behind. And, I don't think Beagle has a Spongebob tie, I think he has the undies, too.

HRQ

OK, fine - long lost uncles then. The camaraderie reminds me of my relationship with my two older brothers. I start the trouble and let them fight it out. Actually, they get into trouble all on their own, just like the two o fyou. All goodnaturedly, of course!

Shadowfax

You are absolutely right, they are by faaarrr the most beautiful kids on the planet, and fortunately, they look get their looks from Mom (sorry Beag and Ray). I an curious though how you got good ol Don to hold the shirt in the background? Good pic of him though too. I'd love to be at your place on Christmas morning - no place more wondrous than kids and family and Christmas. Cherish the wonder, and thanks for sharing.

HRQ

You might remember I accused Don D of using a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself in his photo. He sent it to me, and now Don D is hanging out in the lobby of one of our preschools. I get to see him every day, neener neener neener!

This is the first Christmas that Michael actually gets the concept of Santa. AJ's not quite there yet.

I love every minute of this - Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, and this is the first year EVER that both my husband's family (from TX) and my family (from NE) will be together. My house will be crowded, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

What a great picture of you and family. Hey Forum men, the pictures of males are getting better every time, can't wait to see the new calendar. Welcome to the pic post club HRQ and I hope you and yours have a happy holiday celebration. x;-)

Great picture HRQ! The boys are very cute - reminds me of my son a couple of years ago. x:-)

HRQ

Thanks, mwild! You know, YOU haven't posted YOUR picture yet, missy! If I can finally get around to it, you can too. x;-) Be sure to include your son...

Parabeagle

You tell her, HRQ! x;-)

mwild31

Maybe I'll send one in, I've just not got around to it. Maybe in time for the next calendar? Leslie, when you plan on taking submissions for 2005?

x:-)

System

Wonderful picture of you and the boys! I love those action shots. They're lively and so much better than posed photos. I'm beginning to feel somewhat "senior." Your two handsome dudes remind me of two of my grandsons! Cherish the moments!

"Sam"

HRQ

Oh, it was SUPPOSED to be a posed photo. Toddlers apparently don't understand that concept very well. x:D

Santa came to the preschool last week, and we took pictures of the boys with Santa. Michael (older one) sat nicely and smiled. In AJ's picture, he is sliding off Santa's lap, red faced and screaming. I think it might be my most favorite Santa picture ever.

rad

Beautiful boys! Thanks for sharing.

Leslie

mwild, I may have to start doubling up. With the addition of Human Resources Manager, Shadowfax, and now HRQ I'm already up to May, 2005!

HRQ

Maybe you could change it to "Forumite of the Week" instead of the month...?

mwild31

Ah - so I should get my submission in then eh? I'll look around and see if I have anything that's not 'incriminating' and send it in. x:-)

ray a

Incriminating is good too, Mwild. In fact it will give Beagle and me more ammunition.
