Rock and Roll Baby

I will be the lead singer and sing my serious rock songs!


In August of 2006 Megan, Kaitlin and Grandma Bev came out to visit Kaia and I. It was a great time and it was the first time Kaia felt Evie Lu move as she 3 or 4 months pregnant at the time. One of the highlights of the trip for me was a visit to Seattle Center where we dropped by the Experience Music Project. This is a very cool place which if you come out you should go see.

I will write some happy songs too, but not sappy songs.


As with any museum they have the obligatory gift shop. Now the EMP gift shop is cooler than most as they have t-shirts for everyone from Bob Dylan to Bob Marley and the Beatles to Nirvana. I noticed they also had baby clothes.

I saw this Fender guitar onesie and I had to get it. Any baby of mine needs to learn early that the real guitar to play for rock and roll is a Fender. You want to play a Les Paul or a Paul Reed Smith? Fine, suit yourself. I'm sticking to my Stratocaster and my Telecaster thank you very much and so is Evie Lu.

To be a true rock star I need to practice my posing. Just like Bono, huh?


My dad always taught me stage clothes were important and the best color for stage clothes is black. Evie Lu has a great head start. For those about to rock, we salute you!

Finally! I have been honestly waiting for this moment ever since the second we set eyes on that onesie. Rice cereal, teeth, rolling over, whatever - this is the moment I realize lil' ViVi is growing up.

Now I really am going to sniffle.

I remember that wonderful day as well. At the time I was really wondering what this new grandchild would be like: boy/girl, quiet/rowdy, etc. As a future grandma, I was a little worried about a rockin' onesie for a sweet little baby...kinda contrary to my midwestern, staid, scandinavian roots. However, it certainly works for one of the many sides of Evangeline. I can't believe she's already big enough to fit into it! She looks awesome!!
