[i]But there is a Lord of the Rings Crossbow set that you can bet is now under the Christmas tree with my name on it. :D [/i]

Well, Michelle, my recurve still beats a longbow (unless is in the hands of Orlando Bloom) so deliver the pics of Sean!

Aunt C, Aunt K, I trust you're keeping Sean safe...

A big fat AAWWWWWW.

I just love that little devilish grin in the third pic, too cute! I can't remember who said they love it that Brendan is always smiling, but that is so exactly right. Such a genuinely happy childhood. And after reading Grandpop's entry, it's so clear why!

Regarding Cheatajima -- ironic timing. I was just telling the story to a coworker today, after

Yes, Kimberly Cheetajima is well known in these parts. It is still shocking to see that footage and know that the judges missed that.

I am in no way condoning the ridicule of any swimmer..but you guys should check out the Texas trio site..their advent goodie for the day is about and I quote "Cheatajima". I think I just had a mini-stroke from laughter!

2004-12-17T00:05:00.000-06:00

Ok, on the way to PA I decided to stop at the mall and got a little distracted. Anyway, upon further research it appears that the Nerf Bow and Arrow set is no more. But there is a Lord of the Rings Crossbow set that you can bet is now under the Christmas tree with my name on it. :D

2004-12-16T22:30:00.000-06:00

I just realized that first picture of Brendan as a baby..looks EXACTLY like Justin Timberlake as a baby. There is a picture of him with a little cowboy hat on, and oh I need to find it!

2004-12-16T21:31:00.000-06:00

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only who teared up reading Grandpop's post. It's really great to see how close the family is; makes me want to get home to see my sister and the rest of my family.

Lena-good to hear you're feeling somewhat better

A xerox copier....breast stroke on dryland....I think you may be on to something.

Oh the pictures! I just adore that first

2004-12-16T21:25:00.000-06:00

It doesn't seem y'all really differ from the topic of Brendan and his family but I just thought I'd ask, how about The OC episode tonight?

2004-12-16T20:16:00.000-06:00

Kimberly, glad you enjoyed. :) After I graduated from college (by the way, the tiger-striped pic on the homepage - I love that - being a tiger alum - if I ever want to get my old pix photoshopped, I'm sending them to you all for the tiger treatment) ... anyway, I got a job in the research/editorial group of a sports magazine, which is where I got so electrified by swimming. I had the man dream

2004-12-16T18:58:00.000-06:00

Michelle,I see how you are now! I think you just like torturing us...lol. I just want you to know that all my mom's family is from Philly. So if you were to take me I could have us somewhere to stay. :D Then again I think we should propose an exchange program where we get to take turns staying with Mrs.H for a week at a time. Just in the name of learning about new areas of the country of course

2004-12-16T18:07:00.000-06:00

I love this whole family...does anyone else get the urge to bust out "can you feel the love tonight?" Nope..just me? OK then!

Dana Cara, I am from Indiana and let me tell you WE LOVE our Manning boys. OK so only Peyton is really ours, but they are all amazing! Cooper is very adorable,and was very talented in college. I definitely see the Manning/Hansen comparison. I've heard that

2004-12-16T17:33:00.000-06:00

I'm back from shot number 4. This one really, really hurt. A lot.
But before goign there I got a postcard from lala. Thanks, lala, it totally made it easier to put up with the pain cause I remembered your kind words. You were the blessing of 2004. hun.

Aunt C, Aunt K, I hope you're keeping Sean Bear safe from Michelle's claws.

2004-12-16T16:49:00.000-06:00

Oh and Lena - if they run off to Argentina I'm hopping a plane too. You already said your parents would adopt me! =)

2004-12-16T16:48:00.000-06:00

Ack!! Michelle, you are gonna be the death of me!

Post the pic of Sean for Lena! (Yeah, yeah! For Lena! That's my excuse!) I swear I am sitting down, and I am fully prepared with defibrillator on stand by!

Don't make me

2004-12-16T16:38:00.000-06:00

Aunt C, Aunt C, run run run!!!! Michelle is on her way to stalk Sean! You need to save him. You need to hide him far far away from her.

My house is available as shelter in Buenos Aires. Really. And of course, since the brothers are so close. Brendan can come stay too. I have a pool on the other block, an archery club nearby and my sister is a swimming coach. See... all your needs taken

2004-12-16T16:34:00.000-06:00

"I am like a cat." Ok, lala... the things I can say about this. But I'm not holding it against you b/c you don't speak lunfardo. Hence, you have no idea what you just said. One hint. Never, EVER, say that in Buenos Aires.
Second, I don't wanna tell, but Michelle is beign mean! I'm on my way to get my 4th shot, I've been sick for a month and a half, we have no 20 questions, I still have not

2004-12-16T16:26:00.000-06:00

Okay michelle, you may be the hostess with the mostest, But I have just about had it with the Sean taunting. I know I am not going to see the longhoOOps! I am not supossed to talk about that. I keep looking at Sean's hoodie picture with Tiger and I want to see him NOW! You have been torturing me.... Not fair. I am like a cat. Curiosity will kill me one day, But I love a mystery revealed.....

2004-12-16T16:05:00.000-06:00

Thanks for posting Grandpop! Brendan has such a wonderful family and it's great that he and Sean are so close. It reminds me of my relationship with my sister, who's 3 years older than me. We're also very close, and I don't know what I'd do without her! :)

Aw, it just won't be the same without the daily pic fix! Maybe you should've done just 1 a day Michelle, haha.

2004-12-16T15:30:00.000-06:00

Michelle, I still have one mroe shot to take. To make a total of 4 shots in my..ahem.. lower back in less than 36 hours. So please... please, please... We need the pics of Sean!

Pretty Pretty please?

I'm gonna start saing to make a donation. Currency exchanges suck at this point, but hey, it's for a good cause.
And we still need a pic of the longhorns

2004-12-16T14:47:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone! Gosh with the busy week I have had, coming to this site has helped brighten up my days. And reading how close the Hansen family is makes me think of how close my own family is. I can't wait for Christmas because we are all gonna be together this year, then right after I will be leaving for college out of state. Its gonna be the first time I've truly been away from my family.

Pics of Sean have arrived! i cant wait until you post them Michelle. dont hold out on us long. Ill definately be making a contribution to Bren's charity. Oh and its great to hear from Grandpop. such sweet words. take care.

2004-12-16T14:07:00.000-06:00

Heeeee Dana - you may be onto something there, but I think we'd better get Mrs. H and Brendan's approval before beginning that auction.

In related photo news - Thank you BlairBecky, I got your photos and Thank YOU Aunt K, I got YOUR photos (wheeee!) and in unrelated postcard news - Thank you lala I got your postcard. xoxox

2004-12-16T13:15:00.000-06:00

I'm surprised that the tattoo fans haven't proposed some method involving laying down on a xerox copier (it'd probably look a lot like the breaststroke on dryland, ha) and scanning the results. Not to mention that if he used a camera he'd probably need help ... Michelle, you want to raise money for leukemia? Auction off the right to take the picture. ;)
