nice southern touch ;-) is noah one of the twins? (This One and That One?) If so, I'm impressed you knew which one it was.

I am catching up on my dooce reading from the weekend and, damm. I know for certain my mother she isn't over the delivery of my twin siblings yet. And all these years, I have been thinkng she's the greatest for raising 3 kids, getting them through college, crying at their weddings and cleaning up after her grandchildren and come to find out she lacked fiber THE ENTIRE TIME.
That's it. No Mother's Day card for her next year.

gotta love those family shots!

cousin george makes it again on dooce.com!
5. Heatheranne said:
Wow. George has been here twice. I see he got rid of the facial hair.
6. WindyLou said:
I want to be on Dooce! Me next! me!
7. Lori said:
I need to get me some fibre... or whatever drugs the pinko is high on.
8. beachgal said:
Yay! Family shots are cool! Great work, again, Ms. Dooce. And who cares about freaks that type in pink. You are a great mom, and since we go through what we do in order to have babies, I think we have a right to complain about this, that and the other, and if she doesn't like it, why does she read your site? Holy run on sentence Batman!
9. kari said:
re: pinko (Lori: hee!). Right, and we're all supposed to know how we'll "handle" having kids before we actually have one, and if we determine that we won't have the fibre (or if someone else like pinko determines that for us, I suppose), then we just don't have them.
I suspect pinko doesn't have kids.
10. dhd said:
Doesn't George look a little like Jack Osbourne?
11. Julie said:
Both boys are adorable.
Pinko must be perfect. Let's leave the child bearing and rearing to only perfect people like her.
12. patti said:
Yes, he does look like Jack O. And don't tell the pink lady that I too lack fibre....and am about to have kid # 2 ! We are your nightmare, lady!
13. CAS said:
Pinko can have my beloved, smart, adorable baby girl every damned morning at 5am, when she starts crying her head off. She can do the late-night feeding at 11, too.
14. Lindsey said:
I'm guessing that your nephew calls your 'Ant Heather'? My newphew is from Tenesee and he calls on the phone to tell me 'Haaay Annnt Linzeee my favorite color is pank' :)
15. Amy said:
That is one adorable little boy. And his kid is a cutie too. Noah has that fibre-lacking-mother look. You know, adorable and happy and well-adjusted, the kind of kid who would never send rude judgemental e-mails to sweet people.
16. Julie said:
I'm digging Noah's "Casual Day belly showing" vibe contrasted with George's suit. :)
As for pinko, someone needs to tell her that those of us with fiber spell it that way. FIBER. We aren't wanna-be Brits.
Let's force-feed her shredded wheat.
17. jen said:
Actually wrote an indignant letter to pinko. SHOCKER: She didn't have an epidural for ANY of her births. I'm sorry, but I don't have the fibre to go through pain when I don't have to either. Go us fibre-less moms!
18. Sarcomical said:
i want to pinch BOTH of their cheeks!
also, got a great laugh over your photo of the coolest group of nerds on the planet! can i join your club? ;)
19. Elegant Goose said:
Hey dhd- Re: George looking exactly like Jack Osborne-- I was just about to write the exact same thing- that George looks a lot like a different kid from a slightly more famous, slightly more crazy family. I think it's the combo of the curyly hair and the baby face.
20. Kristi said:
You take the best pics Heather. I absolutely love your blog. Your little Leta is delicious!
Tell Pinko to stick it where the sun don't shine. All the fibre in the world didn't help me either. She's on crack.
By the way, you all are adorable geeks!
21. annelise said:
sassietrousers? who calls themselves sassietrousers? what's with this chick?
of course having a child is WONDERFUL!!!!! i have a nine year old and i swear to god still don't know what the hell i'm doing most of the time. no - all of the time!
not everyone is a pink powerpuff mommy.
heather, not one bloody thing you've written has been anything less than WONDERFULLY honest and heartfelt. this is what being a mom is all about, not pretending everything is perfect when its not...
i could eat noah for lunch, he's so bloody cute! i bet his mommy isn't perfect either, but damn that kid looks happy.
22. Melissa said:
Hey, you never mentioned your cousin is Horatio Sans!
Gotta say I admire your honesty re: threeway with the laptops while friends are visiting. Me, I'd rather repeatedly reconvene the procedure or visit with friends.
Glad to read Leta is finally sleeping some!
23. jodi-no-blog said:
I agree with dhd and patti...George is a Jack Osborne doppleganger. If he's Mormon, its like he is the complete antithesis of Jack Osborne! Yin and Yang. OK, sorry I'm being weird, I am so freaking bored at this job...I'll do anything for a little distraction.
sigh...
24. Laurel825 said:
George reminds me of someone I can't pin down...brain freeze...mental block...unemployed and eating too many blueberry Pop Tarts and root beer...who??? "Skipper" on SATC! George has an earnest, pleading look, a story to tell.
25. trisha said:
George reminds me of that guy on Six Feet Under...um, Arthur?
Great pic, as always!
26. Liisa said:
Tell your cousin that I think he is REALLY cute! And something about him screams "I'm a funny guy" and that just drives me crazy. Cute little Noah, too. Can I join your family somehow? They are so much more photogenic than mine...
27. dhd said:
Aside from Jack Osbourne, George also looks a bit like Steven Page of BNL (only with more hair). Check it out: http://www.bnlmusic.com/about/default.php
28. Michael said:
Why haven't I married someone like that! Oh, thats right... I dont own land in massachusetts.
Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. :-D
29. Michael said:
i meant that to be a comment on the other photo. Because wolverine is hot
30. Tammy said:
Is your cousin single? Oh wait, I'm married, nevermind :)
Dude, I'm so glad the pink lady has such a staleward vagina. I HAVEN'T had any kids yet, and "the procedure" is STILL more uncomfortable than NOT uncomfortable. Dude. Man. Dude. I'm SO glad that the pink lady is SO much more capable of living our lives and making decisions and judgments of us than we are.
31. Cece said:
Wolverine?! LMFAO!
32. Ty said:
I just want to know how Pinko could possibly think the labor pains and TEARING are "wonderful"! She is definitely out of her mind.
I haven't had kids yet, but I have to say I am glad you give it the way it is. Not sugar-coated. I would much rather know the truth than be lulled into submission only to be frustrated and angered by what I wasn't told.
Pinko needs to write her own daily blog and write only all the wonderful things her children do everyday. Bet the blog would die a fast painful death.
33. delusive said:
I like George.
That is all.
34. Dipali said:
Yoo..hoo..
Im the first one to comment about Leta's teeth !!
Njoy teething ....
35. Brochstar said:
Ah, the family, always the family =-)
36. eco2geek said:
Theme from "Star Trek" begins. Cue William Shatner: "Teeth. The final frontier."
Just got through reading the "DOOCED" archives for the first time. Oh, my. :-) Really looking forward to reading the rest (and feeling like a stalker).
(P.S. Britney Spears was, is, and shall remain a saucy tart.)
37. MelissaS said:
Re: Photo on front page. 'Wolverine'
Wolverine's non super hero name is Logan. Coincidence?
38. Mary said:
I can't wait until mine has teeth..
Luckily, Dooce, you aren't like one of those Boob Nazis and insist on nursing your kid until it goes to college, and even then on weekends.
-Mary
39. aibee said:
George looks like Arthur from Six Feet Under, but with more grrr and less brrr, you know?
Meanwhile Noah is straight up cute as a bug.
40. Crazy Jane said:
When my little monkey's teeth arrived, I cried for hours. I think it was that I just didn't ever want him to become toothsome and meat-eating; not because I have a problem with that, but because he was such a sweet little harmless creature... except for the screaming.
Oh well. He's 12 now, and he's lost his last baby tooth this week, ane he's still a very sweet little creature.
~Jane
41. Christine said:
I love how Noah's little hand is resting upon George's big one. That would make a lovely image all by itself!
By the way, I could gobble both of these guys up with a spoon. They are adorable. :)
42. heathabee said:
cute pic! love the devlish lil' face on noah there.. ;-)
and regarding the one on the front page, how many times have we seen pictures of Leta making the face that Jon is in that picture? my guess is a million! :)
43. Melissa said:
teeth...we want pictures of teeth!!!
44. Erin said:
Where's Ass Face?
45. Shiz said:
The lady who writes in pink does not have a CLUE. People like that should never be allowed to express their opinions, ever. Except perhaps when I want a laugh.
46. Michael said:
Get ready for a deluge of weird ass fan mail-- referring to the main page's post. And maybe a photo or two of Wolverine. Cuz, after all... he's REALLY HOT.
That child reminds me of my best friend as a child. :-D
47. Christine said:
I can't wait for the new category on dooce.com: photos of the bizarre stuff that people send to my P.O. Box. Bring it on!
48. dj blurb said:
I kick ass at jeopardy. I will kick your ass. I am Wolverine's twin brother, Wolverine III: Cajun Revenge. We lost one of the clones in the Process to become Wolverine. So it all works out.
P.S. The Cajun part means I will blacken your ass with a nice crushed pepper glaze.
49. karen said:
1) stalwart vagina (from someone's earlier (and misspelled, but that's ok) comment is a great band name
2) dooce, you may have just spawned a cultural phenomenon. soon you will hear 16 year olds saying they just reconvened their procedure for the first time, and they won't even realize how ironic that is.
50. Gia on Guam said:
Dooce, your husband just got a helluva lot hotter! Talk about cranking it up a notch! Jeopardy Geeks are sooooooooooo sexy!
51. Tree said:
Ken Jennings in my trivia hero!
52. George said:
EVERYONE SAYS I LOOK LIKE JACK OSBOURNE! I have a beard again, the only reason I shaved is because my brother made me for his wedding (lame). Ass face is gone, we gave him away because he was scratching my speakers like the little bastard he was.
53. faith said:
I think Pinko must have had heaps of high-quality-but-probably-illegal drugs in order to find labour and tearing 'wonderful'. Here in Holland you have do it without drugs, consequently I don't remember anything from going into labour until about a week afterwards due to the tusami-wave of endorphins that flooded my body.
But I know it was bad because; a)the midwife wouldn't tell me how many stitches there were and b) it took me seven months too! So glad to meet another seven-monther ;)
54. paula said:
Hi there, I i love your site. I was so excited to see your pictures that I bought a Nikon D70 too. Sorry to copy! LOL, the camera is awesome. I just got it last night. I have a question for you if y ou would be so kind as to help me :O) How do you resize a photo in the software program that came with it? Mine are huge, Any help of your expertise would be so appreciated! I am an avid fan of your site and photographs. Thanks so much.
55. Melis said:
Several quick points here:
When I first noticed the picture, I neglected to notice the Wolverine Effect on the right side. I had to go back, and when I did, I wasn't disappointed.
Second-Jeopardy geeks unite! I love love LOVE me some Jeopardy (except for when it's Kid's Week or the Teen Tournament and my husband (who looks just like Hermie from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer) thinks he can play too).
Toofies!!! Let's see some pics of the toofies!!!
Okay...I'm off to go have my kid now. :)
56. trudie said:
hey, i think i saw some fibre in that previous photo of leta. maybe she stole all your fibre and is disguising it with all that damn cuteness.
57. samantha said:
I am completely thrilled with the whole address thing. Does that make me a scary stalker? I'm not, just a dorky card sender.
and jon is not only a Jeopardy wizard, but hilarious as well. I'm snorting over his Wolverine comment.
58. chickenHead at 39.5 weeks said:
Great picture, as always.
Unless I'm mistaken--which is always possible--I believe your nephew and your cousin are actually first cousins once removed, not second cousins. "Removed" means George and Noah are in different generations as measured from their common ancestor.
Second cousins are of the same generation. For example, Leta and George's children would be second cousins.
I'm going to go puke up a baby now.
59. HazelEyedPisces said:
My hubby's a Jeopardy geek too. I refuse to watch it with him, because all I can do is sit and stare at him incredulously, looking like a mouth-breather.
We definitely need toofie pics. Yea, Leta!
