Yep... The boy is such a tease!! A great moment! And then he "seriously" invites y'all to join him. Priceless!

I think I speak for the better part of the BHO community when I say the following:

I love coming over to this blog and checking out all the posts from some of my OG girls! Brendan is one of my favorite swimmers after I saw how he conducted himself with class in Athens. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he and his family have interacted with us here at BHO! The baby pics have been really cute too. It's just a lot of fun over here. :)

2004-12-21T14:15:00.000-06:00

There's not much I can add that really hasn't already been said. But I'll add my $.02 anyway. =)

I'll admit Brendan wasn't my favorite swimmer....before I found the blog. If the Q&A didn't endear him to me, then the comments from Bren and his family certainly sealed the deal. (But keep this quiet, please don't tell Aaron...)

Plus with all of the other posters on here,

haha.

2004-12-21T07:22:00.000-06:00

Aunt K - Of course I would hold one of the signs, I'd even chase it if I had to, but if you'd rather me hold on to the person next to me (Who oh who could I possibly sit next to?? hee hee) I am willing to do that while cheering my heart out, of course. I trust you guys in determining where my talents would best be put to use. =)

We'll work on getting the meds refilled, and I think lala

2004-12-21T07:19:00.000-06:00

Awwww...(virtual hug out to everybody because I'm big on hugging)...I got all sappy. We love you Aunt C and Aunt K. I would be proud to hold hand made signs with you. Now I know you said he banned the tie-dye shirts but maybe we can make some shirts of our own. That way when we all go to the WC we will recognize each other. After your post,I'm determined to find a way there. I've got to meet

2004-12-21T03:50:00.000-06:00

The best blog moment to me is any time you see a new post.... from anyone! The few moments that really stand out are when the Toiger called himself "pumkin" and "Bren-Bear" was it? I also loved that Brendan was honest and silly and funny with his answers for the Q and A. I believe that set the tone of the blog. Michelle sent this Questions to him on a Tuesday it seems and he responded so

2004-12-20T23:29:00.000-06:00

Thank heavens the tissues are sitting right next to the computer because Aunt C and Aunt K just did me in there...

I think everything everyone has mentioned so far can fall into my list of favorites somewhere. I think the Q & A - the start of it all - is pretty far up there. But so is all the posts from the family, from Brendan himself, the pictures... I look forward to coming here to

Jenny..I feel the same! I was just rereading my post and realized that not only do I need a BHO 12-step program, but now I also need hormone therapy. I am getting a little sappy!

2004-12-20T22:05:00.000-06:00

Wow, Aunt K and Aunt C, what you say genuinely amazes me. I read this site daily (understatement) and always think of how lucky we are that you all contribute so regularly, helping us get to know not only Brendan, but all of you who shaped the person he's become! So to read that we influence you, it genuinely blows me away. We owe a huge thanks to you for all your enthusiasm -- like someone

2004-12-20T21:53:00.000-06:00

Aunt K- that is just another great moment to add to the long list! You crack me up...hey I used to work in a pharmacy as a pharmacy tech...maybe I can talk to my old boss about helping with the med refills..haha

2004-12-20T21:33:00.000-06:00

Michelle, that is unbelievable about what has been raised in just 4 days !!! Kind of says it all doesnt it....need to give Brendan this info.

Steph...hon... you really dont want to hold the signs we bring...remember LB and the stands....well one fell ALL THE WAY DOWN.... right before the 200 final...poor Megan ran down 10 stories to get it before the race went off...AND...if you hold

2004-12-20T21:24:00.000-06:00

Hello all! I'm here to post my favorite moments on the BHO blog. Are you ready? To bad here goes!

*Brendan referring to himself as "Bren_Bear" and "Pumpkin."

*username=pumpkin

*The whole Hansen clan posting anything and everything on not just Bren-Bear, but the WHOLE FAMILY! No Hansen is safe from Aunt K and Aunt C!

While all of the above moments have

2004-12-20T20:58:00.000-06:00

We should not forget the essays and the contribution you made in our name to other charities, Michelle.

It's so hard to pic just a few.

2004-12-20T20:48:00.000-06:00

I agree - Aunt C and Aunt K's posts have to be added to the Best of the Blog list. I'd also like to mention that Brendan fans have donated $500 to the Leukemia Research Foundation over the last 4 days and that's pretty memorable and outstanding.

2004-12-20T19:34:00.000-06:00

ah! the aunts are going to make me cry! *runs to get tissues*

I say those two posts right there should go down a big moments..b/c they definitely sum up the feeling around here. make sure you tell John how amazing B-Han and his family have been to us, b/c the Hansens just rock.

I's have to say though, I agree with a few of the suggestions: The M/S/C game in whihc everyone

2004-12-20T19:03:00.000-06:00

This blog is just memorable in itself! :) With Bren's family posting, finding out little tid bits about him, and just in general having a great time. It's good to know that when any of us need a good laugh we can come here and look forward to reading Aunt C, Aunt K, Uncle B, and Mrs. H comments and sometimes having Bren Bear come and post himself! These are just good memories! :)

2004-12-20T18:59:00.000-06:00

Oh my gosh....need to grab the tissues!! Aunt K and Aunt C, you both have just put a great ending on my almost perfect day! Who knew Mondays could be so great? Bren is such an amazing person and its now so clear why, he has such an amazing support system and such a great family!
I don't think I could pick a most memorable moment, ever moment has been memorable, and just knowing that

2004-12-20T18:57:00.000-06:00

Oh man, 2 super wonderful aunt posts in less than an hour. That did it! *sniff*

Aunt C - I would hold a sign with you guys even now as it is 10 degrees outside here in Boston. It's not because of how gorgeous Brendan is. It's not because of his talents or achievements. It is because of the person he is and the people you are. It would be an honor to someday meet you all..if not at WC,

2004-12-20T18:48:00.000-06:00

The M/S/C was another great moment. The wedding proposals to Brendan in there (starting with mine). And you all cliffing Jose Meolans (Steph actually took it back after seeing a pic).
And of course, the lovely answers of the friends of Michelle's grandmother.

2004-12-20T18:43:00.000-06:00

Okay Aunt K..you even had me reaching for the tissues.
My most memorable Blog moment had to be the
shag/marry/cliff game. All of your personalities really came out..had me laughing...had Uncle B wondering why his wife was now spending lots of time down in the basement (computer room).
Aunt K and I always had a bond in that we were groupies, taking road trips to go see Brendan's

2004-12-20T18:41:00.000-06:00

Oooh, let me know when he's publishing the article because I want to try to grab a hard copy. My local B&N probably won't have it but maybe someplace like Borders will.
