Band on the Diaper Run

If you are up early on Saturday

 We're gonna bring the family to Good Morning America on Saturday morning. They will be doing an slightly extended version of the piece that World News did a couple weeks ago.  I don't know what to wear.  

 

And a few more unimportant dilemmas in my life at home...

 

I'm on antibiotics for my arm, they mess me up, I hate taking antibiotics but the burn got infected (although it looks much better). 

 

I'm, as always around vaccine time, worried about June's doctor visit tomorrow.

 

Back to the clothes for TV thing, should we just wear our dirty tour clothes or do we go for something more presentable.  I don't really care now but when I watch it I will inevitably be critical and shallow and only care about how I should have cared more. Plus my mom said, "Are you just gonna wear your hair in a pony tail?"  I asked her if she has seen me do anything else in the past 6 months.

 

Tonight, I was prepping Mags about going into NYC to "get to see how they make a tv show and they might talk to me and Dad."  She started crying saying, "No, everytime you talk to people, I am not allowed to talk to you."  OK, this is a result of us trying to teach her about not interrupting.  It has nothing to do with interviews or whatever we do with the band. We've been practicing not being rude while people are talking to each other. I assured her she will be free to be part of my discussions with everyone and then I decided that she needs an earier bedtime.

 

Oh, June started walking.  For a day, all over the place.  Then she decided to go back to crawling (totally not a dilemma, just a piece of information)

 

But here is something cute.

Mags at a year and a half.

 

 

June at almost a year. 

Hand-me-downs are awesome. I need to find those sunglasses Mags used to wear every day.

I think you should wear the blue dress with the polka dots. I've seen you wear it in concert, as well as in the promo shots for the newest album, so it is definitely a "tour outfit", and representative of you as an artist, but also it's chic and adorable, and looks very good on your body and with your complexion. Just the random two cents of someone you have never met. (Sorry if that was super creepy!)

Also, those baby pictures are adorable.

I agree. You always look cute in dresses and jumpers. I think you wore a denim one in Boston a couple years ago? I don't know; it was dark.

It's not the vaccine to worry about.  Your kids are more in danger from the cold and virus germs they pcik up in the waiting room.

Hello

My wife and I just watched your interview on Good Morning America.

I just wanted to say that I love your family!

It was such a pleasure to see a family having so much fun together. Your kids will remember these great times forever. What a great departure from the norm.

I am truly proud of you guys. You are truly blessed.

Cheers
