06.07.11 - Figures

We loaded up the crew and headed to Target tonight for a few necessities. We thought we might also grab some ice cream before heading home but Tommy was being Mr. Fussy Pants so we didn't. Of course, as soon as we got home, he was fast asleep. Figures. So, we had ice cream at home instead.

06.06.11 - Thomas Aaron meets Uncle Aaron

When deciding on a name for Tommy, we were pretty sure from the start that we wanted to use the name of my Little Brother, Aaron, who I was matched with in Topeka. Of course, Aaron isn't so little anymore having graduated high school last month and now standing more than a head taller than me. Aaron and his family were back in Topeka from Cincinnati this past week so on Monday we loaded up with Tommy and made the trip up. We enjoyed lunch at HuHot, where Tommy proceeded to spit up all over my shirt*, and then visited the Sabatini art gallery at the library, where Kansas-based photographer Jim Richardson currently has an exhibit on display featuring his work for National Geographic.

*Of course, we packed extra outfits for Tommy but not for ourselves. You'd think after the third kid, we'd learn a thing or two.

Nan holds Tommy while Angie watches Maddie and Nate as they run through the sprinklers. It was nearly 100 degrees today!

Maddie shares one of her Highlights "mag-nus" (her word for magazine) with Tommy as they read bedtime stories.

06.02.11 - I ♥ Tom

We delivered dinner to Grandpa Greg's family tonight as Grandma Nancy is recovering from surgery. We could see the sidewalk chalk graffiti as we pulled into the driveway. Once you got past all the Justin Bieber tagging (their girls are that age), there was actually this nice little grouping of hearts, each with a family member's name in it. I had to chuckle a little when I saw Tommy's heart with "Tom" written inside of it. Pop calls him Tom, and we think that's pretty neat.

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."
