Party of 5: Baby Tiger

Baby Tiger

Well, currently, in this house golf is the "it" sport... as many of you who read this blog know. Kyle and Owen (especially Kyle) have been able to accurately identify Tiger Woods when they see him on t.v., on billboards, and in magazines since they were about 22 months old ("Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! Hit the ball Tiger!!!"). Long before K & O came around I was interested in the Tiger Phenomenon. I've followed the race-related commentaries and critiques about his questionable racialized quotes and actions; Tiger is loaded with racialized complexities; It is sociologically fascinating (and at times infuriating). Anyway... his inter-racial marriage is old news. The big news now, of course, is the Baby Tiger. (I told Kyle the other day that "Tiger had a baby!" Kyle said, "A baby tiger??") Today I was catching up on some blogs. A lot of the culture/race-related blogs have been addressing the baby "cub" since her birth. I came across this great post from a blogger I like: Click here.

We're passing through PA on our way to TX and will be here for the next two weeks. We'd love to meet for a twin playdate if you're around and not too far from Phila. Please email me if you have time! Happy summer. :); July 12, 2007 1:03 AM

I hope I didn't frighten them when I came up to them in the petting zoo and said "I think I might know your mommy!" Anyway - we're in the area for the next few weeks and I'd love to get our kids together if you're available. Please email me when you have time! mbj; July 12, 2007 5:31 PM

About Our Blog

The Johnson-McCormick Family Blog is a blog spot for sharing the scoop on our little family's big life! We are Heather, Braydon, Kyle, Owen, and Meera Johnson-McCormick. Kyle and Owen are twins- born May 8, 2004 in Cite Soleil, Port au Prince, Haiti- adopted January 31, 2005. We became a "Party of 5" when Meera Grace was born to us on May 28, 2008. We have a crazy, fun-filled life with 3 bambinos and 2 big careers all under 1 roof - The point of this blog is three-fold: 1) to keep friends and family posted on K, O, and M's goings on's and our life, 2) to create an historical document/journal/scrapbook of this wild ride, 3) to be out there in the blogosphere -- loud and proud -- doing what we can to support other adoptive/inter-racial families and dual-career families in their journeys. Thanks for reading and following along! As Kyle and Owen say, "It's a bumpy bumpy ride!"(in a good way!).
