Jack goes old school and busts out a little "cabbage patch"....just kidding...this is a pic that his babysitter, Emily took. Whatever he is up to, he is having a good time!

I'll let you in on a little secret...

Here's a pic of Jack and Zoe...looks like they are having a little conversation!

So Fresh and So Clean

2007-02-03T04:10:00.000-08:00

Jack got a fresh haircut today and is sporting a military inspired look complete with his long johns. Notice the "tool" that he is carrying around. He goes in to the kitchen, he removes one of the child safety locks for the cabinets and runs around the house using it for a little tool to dig in the the dogs food or just generally pick through anything that he can.

Baby Stam 2....Return of the Bumbo

With Zoe's new found neck control, we found that it was time to resurrect the Bumbo!

This Table is Pretty Cool

2007-01-30T03:59:00.000-08:00

Gramma and Pap and Aunt B bought this table and chairs for Jack for Christmas. As it turns out...the table has even more features than I orignally thought. The top of the table is a chalkboard and there is a compartment in the center...I thought it was for storing chalk...I guess it is also for storing Jack.

2006-08-02T07:00:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Mike's fortieth birthday this weekend with a party at our house with lots of Bag Toss, Kiddie pools, food and fun! What's the big difference between this party and his 36th? We now worry about the kids trashing the place instead of the grown ups!
