Gramma Karen is a sucker for her grandkids. She came over for a visit this afternoon and got some snuggle time in with Tommy. We don't blame her. He is pretty cuddly!

Mike worked all day today so Tommy was excited to spend some time with him when he got home.

07.29.11 - Shhh...Sleepin
Tommy takes a little nap on the living room floor after doing some reading. He won't actually nap unless he is right in the middle of all the noise and action.

07.28.11 - On the Move Two
Tommy scooted himself completely off the rug today and Nate grabbed him by the shirt to pull him back. His brother and sister are always looking out for him.

07.25.11 - Blurred vision
Why an eye doctor's office would find it funny to put funhouse mirrors in their waiting room is beyond me. Don't they know that the people who go there have vision problems?
(And that vision problems aren't funny.)

07.23.11 - Farmers' Market
When Angie was pregnant with Tommy, there was no shortage of people who thought they were being clever in asking us, "Don't you know how that happens?" Now that Tommy is here, there are no shortage of people who think they're equally as clever in stating the obvious, "You've sure got your hands full."
And we heard it multiple times today as we pushed three kids in two strollers through the farmers' market. Yeah, we're busy. We're often stressed. Money is tight. Our house is often cluttered. Indeed, we do have our hands full. But, we were out with all three (before 9!), they were well-behaved and everything was under control, thankyouverymuch.

07.22.11 - What's so funny, Grandma?
Grandma Shepherd came over tonight to handle bedtime duty so Angie and I could have a date night. Wanna know what Grandma Shepherd is laughing at? Click here or go over to Nate's blog to find out!

Following baths tonight, Tommy models Nate's monkey towel. He's our chunkamonkey!

07.19.11 - Snuggly Puppy
Maddie has a bunny, Nate has a monkey and Tommy has a puppy. As of today, we've made it part of the bedtime routine.

07.18.11 - Hocus pocus, where's your focus?
Tommy was running low on diapers so I loaded him up and made a rare father-son outing to Target. Well, rare that it was just Tommy and I. Not rare that we ended up at Target. :)
While we were there, I decided to get a slight adjustment on my glasses. Angie often asks me what my vision is like without glasses and it's always hard for me to describe. There's no decrease in brightness but everything is just a blur. So, as I stood there in the Target optical suite sans glasses, I decided to try and take a photo that reflects how I see. I cranked the focal ring to the left and fired a couple of frames.
Even dramatically out of focus, this isn't quite what my world looks like but it's pretty close. With hope, Tommy hasn't inherited my eyesight. We'll go to the pediatric opthamologist next week for an initial consultation.

07.17.11 - Baby Bjorn
We decided to pull the Baby Bjorn out of the closet today. It will take a few adjustments to get it to fit just right and it's only good up to 25 pounds, which means we'll only be able to use it until Thursday, but it was nice for Angie to be able to start prepping dinner without tending to a cranky baby who didn't want to be left alone again.
Mike: Angie, do you feel like you're always carrying a baby on the front of you?
Angie: Yes, yes I do!

07.16.11 - Three's a crowd, part 2
It was only two months ago we first did this photo. Even though this isn't our first rodeo, we're amazed at how fast they grow! Tommy seemed really happy to be sitting by his brother and sister.
Click here to see this photo from May 19.

07.15.11 - Loungin' with Grandpa Shepherd
My parents came over to watch the kids tonight so Angie and I could go on a long overdue date night. We had dinner at Pei Wei (tell them it's your first visit and get free lettuce wraps!), found new house numbers at Menards, ran into a high school friend and her family at Target and took in a movie at the drive-in. It doesn't matter what the kids did tonight. They were fast asleep when we got home and that's all that matters! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Shepherd for taking care of them!

07.11.11 - On a roll
Well, he's not rolling yet but he's starting to twist his body. It's only a matter of time!

07.10.11 - Facial expressions
With mommy at the store and Maddie and Nate taking naps, Tommy gets some quality time with daddy today. He's starting to give us more facial expressions. We can't decide who he looks like but he reminds me of Maddie when she was a baby.

07.09.11 - Aunt Tiffany
Aunt Tiffany, one of Angie's college roommates, who now lives in Florida, joined us for dinner at Pizza Hut on Saturday before coming back to hang out at our house for awhile. Considering she only makes it home once each summer, it was her first chance to meet Tommy and her first time to see Nate, her godson, in a year. It's always good to see her. We hope she moves closer to home someday. ;)

07.08.11 - Tommy and Taylor
We headed over to Brent and Tori's tonight to celebrate cousin Keiton's first birthday. Tommy was a big hit, too, especially with cousin Taylor.

07.07.11 - Window seat
We keep the sofa up against the front living room window for Harley but all of our kids enjoy looking out of it, too.

07.05.11 - More sleepy!
I am now sleeping from about 9 p.m. to 7 p.m., which Mommy and Daddy can't complain about, but I'm not really into naps.

07.04.11 - Deep thoughts
Tommy contemplates the jumperoo as he sits in it this weekend for the first time. I bet he's contemplating trying to eat that baby blue elephant.
07.03.11 - First Fourth
Brothers - lookin' forward to doin' lots of dumb stuff together.
Just hopefully not on the Fourth of July.

07.02.11 - Fourth of July
We're doing all of our Fourth of July events early this year given that the holiday is actually on Monday. Tonight, we loaded up and went to Maize to see fireworks. Tommy sported his red, white and blue stripped jams. He was excited to go but appeared unsure of the whole experience.
