03.17.12 - Green shirts

Angie made sure we had something green to wear on this St. Patrick's Day, including Tommy's "Kiss Me I'm Irish" and my "Take a photo, it will last longer" Old Navy print tees. As I near the end of Tommy's daily blog, I can say that I have taken a few photos. More than a thousand, actually, between Maddie, Nate and Tommy's first year. No wonder I'm exhausted!

03.02.12 - I love Papa

We had dinner to celebrate Grandpa Shepherd's birthday tonight. Tommy and Nate sported these cool shirts Angie found online.

02.24.12 - "Tommy, put some pants on!"

Nate likes to say, "Put some pants on!" if he sees one of us wearing shorts or one of his siblings sans pants, which makes this headline completely appropriate for this photo. Tommy is in the stage where he hates having his diaper changed and can wriggle his way away from one of us without much effort. He's also a very fast crawler so that means he can get quite away away from us in no time. Of course, he's the third kid, so we'll take the time to take a few photos instead of panicking that he might do a job on the floor.

02.08.12 - Foldin' laundry

It was just Tommy and I at home this afternoon so we passed the time by doing some laundry. He's fascinated by socks!

11.03.11 - Picture Day

Tommy gets into his "Sunday best" for our family photo session with Brandi today, which went about as well as you can imagine a photo shoot with three under three might go. But, we are anxious to see the results. There are sure to be some great outtakes!

08.25.11 - Red weiner dog shirt

Tommy's rockin' his new red weiner dog t-shirt today. A nine-month red weiner dog shirt, mind you.

08.05.11 - Giraffe bum

I suppose there's something clever to say about having a giraffe on your bum, but I don't know what it is.

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.

06.01.11 - Not a Cardinals fan

I'm not a Cardinals fan, I'm a Giants fan!

The Giants are playing the Cardinals in the third of a four-game series tonight. I was surprised to come home and find Tommy in the Cardinals onesie that James bought us for Nate. "I don't care if he roots for the Cardinals," Angie said, "as long as they don't win."

05.29.11 - Coincidence

It's purely a coincidence, I'm sure, that nearly every time Tommy sees his Gramma Karen that he's wearing the leisure suit she bought him. :)

05.15.11 - Great catch!

Yes, you are, Tommy Boy. Yes, you are!

04.21.11 - Hug me

Heck, yeah, I'll hug you! Stinkin' cutie!

04.20.11 - Stretches

Angie's been waiting to get this photo! Great job, Angie!

I wonder if she planned for him to wear that shirt or if that's merely a coincidence? :)

04.15.11 - Mommy needs a date night

And Daddy, too!

04.06.11 - New kid in town

No fancy baseball portrait for this birth announcement. In fact, we've been joking that Tommy will be a basketball player what with his big hands and feet. Either way, he's the new kid in town and we like him!

04.02.11 - Mommy's Little Hunk

Tommy is sacked out after watching Maddie and Nate play in the back yard. We can totally relate. Trying to keep up with Maddie and Nate wear us out, too!

03.25.11 - Tired

We were all a little tired today as Tommy was up all night after sleeping for five hours the night before. Here's hoping tonight goes a little smoother!
