• Little Sicky

    Isn’t this the most pathetic face you’ve ever seen?! Poor guy. He’s got a bad cold and started running a fever last night which we’re still fighting it this morning. (And if you look closely at his knees, you can also see he took a good spill on the sidewalk last night too.) I remember […]

  • Just Playing Around

  • Random Pics

    We had a special treat last week when JJ came to town for his sister’s wedding and graced us with his presence for a bit. He graciously fulfilled Trent’s father’s day wish and left an 8×10 of one of his sexy headshots. We put the picture on the fridge, and now occasionally Carson will walk […]

We still haven’t really formed a household policy, but have noticed that Carson (especially with some encouragement from a couple aunts and […]

  • Old School!

    It’s so fun seeing a new generation enjoy some of the simple joys we all did as kids. We pulled out this old school sprinkler the other day for some water fun on one of the really hot days. What a hoot! “Hmmm…let me check this thing out first.” “Whoa. Those are kind of cold. […]

  • Ladies’ Man

    Although no one could EVER replace our existing friends, the Tompkins have been trying to branch out and meet new people down here in Salem. One family we’ve met have a little 11 month old girl. She and her mom came over the other day and Carson was putting on a great show. She’s cute, […]
