"Let's go see the train Daddy"

  So begins a Saturday morning in Lucketts.  A trip to the Point of Rocks train station to watch three freight trains go by, Thomas holding his "ticket"... "Train! Come back! I've got my ticket!!"  The cruel train refused to recognize the validity of his recipe card.  On the way back we stop at the candy store and I hand him a dollar bill and tell him that I worked to get him the money so he could buy the candy.  Five minutes later on our way home: "Daddy, go to work, get more money!"  Maybe, I'll rearrange my lesson next time.

Monster Truck Jam @ Verizon Center

Jack and Jason took Thomas and Kyle to the Monster Truck Jam this past weekend to see Grave Digger jump on the cars...  Thomas grabbed out his earplugs, but then thought better of it. During the show they seemed ambivalent, but we knew it was a success when they rushed down to get a closer look - after the engines shut off.  

Christmas 2008

Sorry that we didn't send Christmas cards.  Do I need to mail you a card so that you know we love you?  Gregory was 11 months on Christmas and Thomas was 2 1/2.  Thomas is very particular.  He loves to hold a hard-boiled egg around and protect it all day...Just like Horton he is faithful 100 %.  Gregory is now walking and drinking whole milk (hooray for me!)

Happy New Year!

 

Happy Birthday Gregory!

   

Our youngest son turned one this past  Saturday.  And he is walking and eating like a horse... well, since we are familiar with horses around here, maybe not so much, but he eats anything put in front of him.... including that Carvel Ice Cream Cake his Nana brought over.

He is a happy boy and can't wait to play with his brother... or at least his brother's toys.  He takes runs and screams... at least he enjoys the game.  His brother on the other hand, not so much

Thomas the Tank Engine Awakes!

Nobody is paying attention any longer.  But quietly, a revival begins.  Due to technological difficulties, pregnancy, and involvement in many other things, Becca had given up on the blog.  But now, thanks to Greg who stayed awake until 4 a.m. last Friday updating our computer to a dual core 4G lightning fast speed ... we are back in action.
