Jack's Birthday Party Video

Here's a really short video of Jack's birthday party.

Jack's Birthday Party

Jack and Bo's joint birthday party was yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I'll try to post a video of it tomorrow, but for now, here are some pics...

One Year

Jack turned 1 over the weekend. We can't imagine life without our boys. Jack is such a happy, fun little guy. He's constantly giving us something to laugh about and there's a funny Jack story almost every day.

I wrote about Sam's first year, but Jack will have to be okay with nothing more than some pictures for you to look at. And check out the video of him laughing - it's a real slice of everyday life at our house.

My Portrait

Sometimes I set myself up...

Over the last few months, Sam has really gotten into drawing. A lot of the time, he'll want Nicole to sit and draw with him. It turns out, she's awesome at drawing - she'll look at a picture or toy and draw it freehand, and it's really good. Anyway, we were all in the playroom yesterday and the boys were playing together, so I asked her to draw me. I know - bad idea. I held a pose and everything. Here are some of her drawings, followed by the picture of me. We laughed forever at the picture.

Me

Man of Steel

Nicole is in California for a few days, so it's just the three guys here. I just put Sam to bed and we were lying side by side like we do every night, talking about all kinds of things. As I was about to leave him for the night, he put his arms around my neck and patted my back. He looked me in the eyes and said, "I see my room and Mommy and Daddy's room. Don't be afraid, Daddy - I keep you safe...I'm Superman." Totally sincere.

What makes it even better is that his bed has Superman sheets and he's in his Superman PJs.
