Olivia's turned 4

Heather and I with our boys

Happy Birthday beautiful, little Olivia!

Papa and his babies

Goodbye, wonderful neighbors

We are completely bummed that Treva, TJ and Khaliq are moving out of state.

But we wish them luck!
TJ loves to bbq and wash his car JUST as much as Tom. That's hard to find, but the moment they moved in, we've loved being their neighbor.

KHALIQ - HOW cute can one little boy be?!?!?

We'll miss you little one!

Daddy's little shadow

When Tom was young, he was called his dad's "little shadow." I think we have that tradition continuing with Jack...

"Look dad, you missed a spot!"

"Just add a few more suds..."

Spring break up time

Spring break up is upon us. The last few mornings, after running around town, Jack and I will start chipping away at the ice in the driveway. I found him a car wash/sweeper attachment to help out with (probably not good for the attachment - sorry Tom - but oh well).

It's important to also sweep the bushes.

What a good helper Jack is!

And might I add...kinda cute?

Uhm, what?!?!

I forgot to add this little story below.....I came home a few weeks ago and Tom said that he and Jack were practicing their stabbing. Uhm, I'm sorry, your what?!?! Stabbing?! Tom says, "Yea, stabbing the chicken with the fork." Right. Basically he was teaching Jack how to really get the food onto his fork...just stab it.
Sigh.

Random shots in March

Lovin' on my baby

Testing his car on the new table.

I love the pj pants...the shirt that goes with these (he's not wearing) has a train on it.

I'm now in the "amazed" parent category as to what their little ones pick up on. Jack's been talking so much lately - I don't even know how many words he knows. But he's repeating A LOT.

The other day we were driving by a car wash and out of the blue he points at it and says, "Car Wash!" I think I took him thru it once, 2 mths ago.
The other night after watching Tom in his racquetball tourney, I took Jack to DQ for some dinner. He called the fries we got "chips". Ok, that works, but he didn't learn that from us. Then the next night we were driving by the DQ and Jack points at it and yells, "CHIPS!"

The fact that he's remembering places is what's blowing my mind. But these little 18-mth-olds never cease to amaze.

Out with the old, in with the new

Old table that I've had since '99
Jack watching the furniture truck leave

New table that I got for a steal!

A closer look.

We'll be taking out the two leaves (sp?), I just wanted to see how huge it is.

Another note - the chairs have a cream cushion which I'm not 100% wild about, so may stick covers over them. You know, with a toddler and all :)
