Move Over Tom Selleck...

Our Little Monk

The other day I went into the kitchen to grab something and left Jack sitting on the couch drinking some juice. I came back into the room a few seconds later and he was gone. I assumed he was behind our entertainment center and said, "Jack?!" All of a sudden the blanket on the couch moved and I saw a little face poking out from beneath it and a little foot. He's got quite a sense of humor already!

"Maggie,You Need to Accessorize"

Lately Jack plays a game where he takes his hat and puts it on your head. Usually he will shout, "Ta-Dah!" or "See?!" Last week however he put his hat on Maggie. The first time he did this he kept laughing and the dog sat there unfazed. She was a good sport because he continued to do this throughout the afternoon. See?!

This is what happens when Jack doesn't get two naps. He fell asleep on Dave!

Me and My Shadow

Kevin's Home!!

"It's Yuuuuuuuuuge Buffalo, Yuuuuuuugah."

One of our local car dealerships barrages us with commercials about every ten minutes. The owner, Billy Fuccillo, and his wing man, Tom Park, have their signature phrase that makes me wince every time. Anyone from Buffalo and many people from across New York State could probably identify the pair. My favorite Fuccillo ads are the ones where Billy's photo stretches across the Buffalo Transit buses. He's lying down with his head in his hand. It's annoying--especially since he's not exactly "GQ" material. Anyway, after about the third commercial during the Today Show a few days ago, Jack said, "It's Yuuuuuge," and started laughing. You can imagine how thrilled I was. Periodically over the last few days he has repeated the phrase, "It's yuuuuge." So, when I told him Uncle Kevin came home I thought it only fitting to say, "It's yuuuuuuge."

As far as I know, my brother returned home to Arkansas at 3:30 AM this morning! My sister-in-law told me he called last night to report he was having a beer in Maine! It's so great to know he is back on our home soil. It's even greater knowing we get to see them next weekend. I'm proud of the job he has done and proud of my sister-in-law for managing to keep it all together while he's been away. I don't think I could do it!




TGIF!

New Puppy

Not for us! Julie and Chris just got a chocolate lab. Her name is Charlotte but they call her Charlie. We went over to see her the other day and as you can see, she's too cute. Jack had fun with her and to my surprise, was pretty gentle (he's used to chasing after our dog). It was cute to see them running around in the yard together.
