Chillin

Connor, here is a shot of you chilling on my stomach while I try out the new Blogger iPhone app.

The ladies

Jacob, you are already in high demand with the girls. This morning when I dropped you off at school, two little girls in your class literally started fighting over you. Your "girlfriend," Emily won handily. :) -Dad

Connor -
You've just begun to smile for us in the past couple of weeks. Mostly you are still pretty serious, but here is a nice smile shot. :)

Birthday party on Flickr

Jacob -

Some pictures from your birthday part are up on Flickr now. Clicking this photo should jump you in to the relevant section of the photo stream.

You had a blast at the party. You say your favorite part was being towed around in the wagon, but to my mind, it must have been sitting on this police car toy. You spent the majority of the time there "driving" it around amongst your friends and their parents.

Your only regret of the party is that you didn't play in the cool ball pit. The night after the party, as you were falling asleep, you suddenly sat bolt-upright in bed and exclaimed: "Oh no! I forgot to play in the ball pit!" Next time, dude, next time.

Emily is my girlfriend

Jake, Today you came home and announced: "Emily is my girlfriend." we suspected this already, of course, having recently heard that Emily told one of the female teachers at school that she (the teacher) was not allowed to talk to you because you were hers (Emily's that is). Apparently the feeling is now mutual. :) -Dad

Birthday

Jacob, this past Saturday was your 3rd birthday. We had a great party thanks to your mom. Lots of friends from in and out of school came. Your favorite part was being paraded around in a wagon while your friends sang happy birthday. Pictures soon hopefully. Happy birthday, little man. -Dad

July 4th at the beach

Jacob, Since watching the fireworks at the beach the other night, you often ask me to tell you the story of what we did that day. Too hard to type on the iPhone, but here is the video. :)
