what IS in dem der hills trixie???

From the looks of it, it looks like dem hills is Maple view farm. They serve really good ice cream at its dem store.

She's ready now.

Kudos to you. Super reference David.

Okay, what is the thumbnail a reference to? It's a painting or a movie or something, but I can't quite remember . . .

sunshine, blue skies, and not a flake of snow in sight. *sigh*

David: (Is that you DavidNYC?) You know the site better than me. thanks for the link :)

hannah: I wasn't thinking of anything in particular when I cropped it, but now that you mention it, it does look familiar. I don't know why though. Maybe someone else recognizes it, and can chime in.

About the thumbnail: This goes *way* back, but I'm reminded of the Karate Kid.

Ahhh, another trip to Maple View Farm. If I'm ever in NC, I'm going to have to visit this beautiful place...and have ICE CREAM!

i can see the karate kid reference. it also makes me think of some scary movie like signs or something where they are pointing out into the woods...yipes!

Or maybe Children of the Corn? She looks so cute, NC looks so beautiful! I'm jealous (I live in OK but I'm from CO.) Did she climb up to the top of the haystack by herself?

Wow. Superb callback David. Well executed as well.

ok, how do i make a link in a post not look like a link, but like text? it drives me crazy to post a bunch of messy url junk. what is the secret? that was a genius move on david's part.

I should add instructions right above the comment window because this isn't the first time someone has asked. In the meantime, here's how you do it:

typing <a href="http://www.trixieupdate.com">The Trixie Update</a>

gives you: The Trixie Update

In other words:
<a href="Complete_website_address_goes_here">Link Description Goes Here</a>

ok so here is my little test. this is my favorite tpod

Ben, Thanks for the How to Link Stuff instructions. I always thought YOU had to add that for us (I know you've done it for me in the past). Hope this gives you even more free time!

If you don't mind, I'd like to test it too...
I've seen every picture to date, but this is MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TPOD!
Cool! :)

P.S. Do I sense a future poll for Favorite TPOD's here?

Ben, I guess you could say I know the site pretty well, but I am not DavidNYC. Just a guy out in the burbs of Chicago who has been visiting and commenting since Trixie was 5 months old. I sometimes leave my email as someone@somewhere.com because I am trying to avoid spam.

My wife and I started trying in early 2004 and I was really interested in other Dads who seemed to feel the way I do, that I was truly excited about playing a bigger role in the lives of their children then some other men do. Your site has really been an inspiration and your little girl will have a great bond with you forever because of the close role you have played in her life.

My wife suffered a miscarriage in late May of 2004 but I am so excited to say we are expecting our first, a little girl, in mid-June and everything is going perfect.

I will continue to enjoy your site as long as it exists and hope to soon be able to use your software for my new daughter.

oooh lori thats a good one! i love how her sock is just hanging on to her toes, kinda like in

dang it... i meant this one

Heck, I might as well try (:My favorite tpod

David: Thank you - I'm glad you like the site. We wish you guys all the best! Sounds like you're going to be a great father.

Well, I might as well cast my vote, too...
The Most Stunningly Beautiful TPOD, IMHO!

I haven't been to the site in a while, so I was trying to catch up and I realize that I'm a little bit late, but I figured that others would do the same as me, so here's my favorite: LOVE THIS ONE!!!

Just browsing & came across this TPOD. I had the same experience chasing my 3-year-old around a jungle gym today at the park. I didn't want to go up for fear of denying him his independence, but wow, that's a long way down when you're just under 3 feet tall!
