So let’s see. I’m in trouble. I’m in trouble because I’ve been very delinquent in updating this website. For that I apologize.
That said, here’s what’s been going on since the last post:
On Thursday, Jack got up, and it happened to be his birthday. He turned two years old, officially.
We took him outside in the backyard and took some photos of him in his dad’s maroon t-shirt again:
Two Years Old
One Year Old
He had fun taking those photos… he didn’t need help standing up this time either 😉
We opened a few gifts from the family on Thursday, just so we didn’t have that many gifts to open at his birthday party we were having on Saturday… can you tell he liked the fire truck:
More photos from the gift opening on Thursday.
That afternoon, around 4:00 or 4:30, friends starting arriving. We were hosting Christine’s family, and Mike Elmquist and Bob Beuerlein for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Mike was in town for Aggie Yell Practice that night, and was a buddy of mine in the Aggie Band years ago. Bob got back in the U.S. after a year in Iraq on Monday, 11/20, and wasn’t very far away (at Ft. Hood.) so we asked him to come join us too.
Christine has prepared most of the side dishes, and Mary and Frank had cooked the turkeys. Mike and Steven brought the desserts.
As soon as we had the table set, I had every one get together so we could take a group photo:
Dinner was amazing. Everyone had a turkey hangover and was in bed by 9 p.m.
On Thursday night, Bob, Mike and I went to Yell Practice on the south lawn of the State Capitol. And cool enough, right before Yell, we were drinking a beer in the bar in my office building, and we ran into Rev, the A&M Mascot, and we got to take a picture of Bob with Rev. Pretty cool:
On Friday morning, 12/24, Greg and I took Patrick and Jack to the t.u. vs. Aggies football game.
Whoop, the Ags beat last year’s National Champs 12 to 7. Greg and Patrick weren’t real happy about the outcome, but we all had a good time going to the game together. Actually, Jack sort of wussed out before the game started (he’s two, what do you expect) and Bob got to go instead of Jack, but again, we all had fun.
Here are some photos from Yell Practice wth Bob and from the game with Greg and Patrick.
A few more random shots:
- You gotta admit this outfit Grayson is in, is adorable.
- Jack loves playing with Grayson.
- Jack enjoys showers now. Fun!
- Grayson likes to sleep on Daddy’s chest, just like Jack did.
- Jack normally loves brocolli, but he was super exhausted on Thursday at lunch time.
I have photos from Jack’s Birthday Party on Saturday that I’ll get posted soon, and some movies from the past week or two too… not enough time in the day folks!
