Mom thoughts

A few things that incur the wrath of Jackson lately:

• Overalls -- apparently making a 2 year old wear overalls is cruel and unusual punishment. I bought Jackson a pair last week-supercute and a bargain, too-but he screams and cries and tugs at them as if he is in a straitjacket. *sigh*
  

• French toast for breakfast -- Are you kidding me? You must not be my child if you can't appreciate the awesomeness of French toast.
  

• "Handy Manny" --This used to be one of his favorites, and who can blame him, Spanish speaking tools are awesome. However, lately every time it comes on he puts on his attitude and loudly says "Uh-Uh!". I can't control the Disney channel's programming, honey!
  

A few things that incur the wrath of Patrick lately:

• Putting him down
• Not holding him at all times
• Not talking to him and playing with him
• Did I mention putting him down?

Thank God for baby slings!

An Ode to Delaine and Drew

A very important part of our little group of Huntsville friends is moving away tomorrow. Delaine, Drew and Claire will be leaving for North Carolina on Tuesday. Delaine, I can still remember the day we met at a Dynetics softball game (this was back in the day when Alex still exercised.) Our group just won't be the same without you guys! We'll miss you and we can't wait for the beach trip!

Here are a few pictures from Delaine and Drew's farewell party. I put some more on our flickr site.
