Hi, I'm "Little Tank!"
Welcome to my page!
About Me
Well, you already learned a little about me and how I got my nickname on our home page. Needless to say, I was already a big boy when I arrived in this world! God made me as a special gift of love for my Mommy, Daddy, and Sissy. He delivered me to them on January 16, 2001. Since then I have been spending a lot of time growing, learning, and becoming acquainted with my relatives as well as friends of the family. I am now getting ready to be homeschooled by my Mama. We are really looking forward to it. Some of my favorite things to do are building (with anything I can get my hands on), doing art projects, and tackling Daddy!
My Pics
Here are some pictures of me when I was a baby.
This is what I looked like the day after I
was born....
...and this was two days after I came home
from the hospital!
Here's me at one month!
These were taken when I was six weeks old.
From serious to not-so serious...Sissy loves my Tigger outfit! Mommy
loves to take videotape of me and capture pictures from it on the computer,
while Daddy likes to snap me with his 35mm camera.
My First Railfanning Trip
On March 25th, Mommy, Daddy, and Sissy took me to California's Feather River Canyon for my first railfanning trip. We spent most of the day parked on a hillside overlooking the tracks at Keddie, but made a side trip to Paxton so I could get a closer look at a "grain train." Here are some pictures:
Daddy's holding me so I can get a good look as the train comes around the corner.
I was appropriately dressed for the occasion
in my "Little Engineer" outfit!
We stopped at a place called "Spring Garden" so that I could have dinner, and there I got a close up look at what Daddy said was the "APL Double-Stack" train. I was so facinated by the train that I actually stopped eating to watch it (Mommy was amazed)! The Engineers of both trains I saw up close were really nice - they waved at me as they went by! I can't wait to see my Uncle "RAM" at work running a train - he's an Engineer, too.
I thought the trains were really neat, but I don't understand why Daddy foams at the mouth and scrambles for his camera every time he sees one. He says I'll understand some day. (Something about "rabid railfan"... what's that mean?)
