The Day The Circus of Heaven Came to Town

A splendid time was had by all

My family and I took in the circus today. Michael liked the doggies. Joey liked the elephants. Lisa liked the brothers in the hamster wheel and I thought the whole event was amazing, wonderful, and extraordinary beautiful.

Mikey Toothless

My son, Michael, lost his first tooth today. His three year old brother, Joey, punched him and out fell the loose tooth. I took Mike's picture and was immediately reminded of a Phish album cover.

The Boy and The Joe

The Joe: Daddy, I want to watch Transformers.

The Boy: No you don't Joey. Transformers stinks.

The Joe: It does not Michael. Daddy, I want to watch Transformers.

The Boy: No you don't Joey. You watch it too much. When you do something too much you won't like it anymore. That's what happened to me with grilled cheese sandwiches. I ate too many and now I don't like them anymore.

The Joe: Daddy, I want to watch Transformers.

Michael Altobelli is Learning to Crawl

April 28, 2004

Like some unearthed lost Beatles song - here's a little something I created the very first day Michael started to crawl, April 28, 2004. Up until today, I had completely forgotten about this.

Michaels Say the Darndest Things


A recent conversation with my son went something like this...

Michael: Daddy, do you have a pee-pee?
Daddy: Yes, I have a pee-pee.

Daddy: Yes he does.
Michael: Girls have wieners.
Daddy: What did you say?
Michael: Girls have wieners. Mommy has a wiener.
Daddy: Yes they do.

Johnson's Corner Farm, Medford NJ

October 2006, 2004, 1994

For me a perfect fall day is a visit to Johnson's Corner Farm with my kids. A trip out to the farm usually includes a hayride, pumpkin picking', petting zoo, and apple cider doughnuts. All of my kids have enjoyed a day out at Johnson's Farm and here's a few pictures to prove it.

Brigantine Vacation: Day 3

By Special Contributor, Rachel Altobell


Yesterday we decided to go to the boards in Ocean City. We had a huge dinner with a whole pizza, a bucket of fries, chicken buffalo wings, water, soda, and baby formula. All of which was eaten with gusto. After getting our pictures taken in a photo booth we set out for Wonderland—on of the largest “piers” in Ocean City.. Michael’s favorite ride of the night was riding on Rockets. Daddy and I went on the log flume. It was fun I screamed really loud but the ride ended to fast, it only had one drop not two like I’m used too. But it was really fun!!! We all had a fun time! I hope we can go back and visit another Ocean City pier, Playland. Then I can go on the Double Shot!!!!!

Brigantine Vacation: Day 1

Michael AltobelliMy family and I are on vacation all this week. Joining us are Lisa's sister, Lauren, her husband Kenny and their baby girl, Allie. Also with us -- at least for a few days -- are Lisa's parents, Lucy and Jim.

I'm going to try to post comments every day about about the previous days events. Yesterday, outside of arriving around 4pm and unpacking we did not do much. Michael and Rachel played in the elevator and Joey and Allie did their thing -- cry, poop, eat, sleep, and cold chill -- the regular routine. Today, we're heading to the beach, which happens to be right across the street. It will be Joey's and Allie's first time. I'll be sure to get "first time" pictures -- first time touching sand, first time dipping their feet in the water, etc.

In celebration of this week of activities I finally setup a Flickr account. Click here to view yesterday's photos. Feel free to add a comment.

Chocolate Jesus

Today my wife came home with an Easter picture of my two sons. The moment I saw the picture I remembered something I heard the late great Bill Hicks once say:

I've been travelling a lot lately. I was over in Australia during Easter. It was interesting to note that they celebrate Easter the same way as we do - commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night.

I wonder why we're so messed up as a race? You know, I've read the Bible - can't find the words "bunny" or "chocolate" in the whole book.

My Boy is a Friggin' Genius

Paul AltobellMy son, Michael, is two and a half years old. He's just learning to speak now and I must say his vobcabulary is quite extensive. Just about any word you say he'll repeat. And then sometime later he'll say the word again in its proper context. I'm very proud of my little man. Today, however, he blew us away. There we were sitting at the table and we hear Michael talking. After a moment we realized he wasn't just talking he was counting. Really counting! Click here to listen to The Boy Genius.
