Knee Deep in the Whoopla

I thought I better start practicing my poses for cover shots of magazines. Pretty soon all the big ones will be calling: ESPN the Magazine, Sports Illustrated, GQ. Oh, don't forget Men's Health.....I better get to work on my abs! Look out Joey Mauer!

Speaking of St. Paul, I would like to send a shout out to all my new readers on the "East Side." Apparently if you write about my new auntie Chris, half the eastern seaboard tunes in. We had a record day of 33 different readers yesterday. We better watch it or Bill Gates is going to offer me millions to buy me out, just for my readership list. NEVER!!

Yesterday Mom took me to her office for lunch. That was a blast, but they're all a bunch of loons over there. Thank goodness they're only picking out pretty colors, and not saving lives. We'd all be in trouble. Then we went somewhere I've never been before....here! Now that was somethin'. I could do that again, many times. Isn't the world just so much fun, every where you turn around?

It all comes out in the wash,

Just Buy Me the Peanuts and CrackerJacks

Living up to my name - Hank Aaron - I am LOVING this new baseball game Palmer gave me for Christmas. I can't stop swatting at it and laughing at it. It plays the best music and always tells me I hit a home run! Dad is only slightly disappointed that I have been using my right arm more than my left - but no final decisions have been made at this time regarding my ambidexterity.

Thank goodness for short work weeks! Today is already my last day at daycare for the week and I get to hang out with Mom again tomorrow. Although yesterday when I showed up at Darlene's I felt like a movie star! All the kids were yelling "Yay! Henry's here!" when I came in the door. I hadn't been there for two weeks; seems they missed me!

Over the weekend, another new pal of mine was born. His name is Beau Patrick Fairbanks, and he lives in Evergreen, CO. His dad and my dad are best buds. You can read all about him in his brother Brady's blog when you click here - http://www.banksfamdamily.blogspot.com/.

I'd like to also give a "shout out" to my cousin's Presley and Cody! I know you guys read my column everyday and I appreciate it! See you soon and may the force be with you!!
