Cubs, Milk and a Bear?

It's never boring when you have a baby, let me tell you folks!  Yesterday we took Thomas to his first baseball game!  It's Spring Training here in Arizona, and that means we have the Cactus League in our backyard!

Our Good friend Anessa and Dan are big Chicago Cubs fans (Dan is from Chicago), and so because Jenn will return to work (boo) next week, we decided to catch the first game between the Cubs and the Dodgers!  Happily the Cubs won (5-3), and I think Thomas enjoyed being outside and hanging out with all the ball players.

This morning however, I was burping Thomas and we had a Kodak Moment that Mommy just had to take pictures of.  In a way, I think these photos will show my "I never want kids" friends, that having a child is such a blessing from God that you scream his name on an almost daily basis.

Cubs & Milk

By the way, once you have a kid, you are pretty much doing loads of laundry, so I'm glad we are using that appliance (a lot)!

Also, here's a little video for anyone who needs a little humor! (special thanks to Mommy for the video idea)

Swing-Swing

My apologies to those of you who might say, " another video, geez, I've seen enough of this kid".  But this video is not intended for those who get tired of "this kid".  This video is for the real Thomas fans!  The Grandparents and Aunties and all those other people who just can't get enough of the T-man!

PS- I shot this video because it was too cute not to.

Who's Jerome?

Who is Jerome, is not the question, but rather where is Jerome?  More of that later...

Saturday we got a nice little visit from our good friend Eli & Rachel.  They came by the house to see... Mommy & Daddy?  Probably not, they came to see everybody's favorite little guy Thomas!  I never realized how cute our family is, but luckily Eli took some pictures of their visit!

On to Sunday!  Jenn decided that we needed to take a little day trip and see more of Arizona (it is the best state in the Union right... who still refers to it as the Union?).  The desicion was made that we would journey to Jerome (don't worry, I'd never heard of it either).  The drive took about an hour and a half, and Uncle Steve drove Thomas, Auntie Leia, Mommy & Daddy (that's all who could fit in the car, sorry Tony).  The weather was warm for most of the day, and it was intersting to check out such a little town that had once been known as the "wickedest town in the west".

Look at our pictures and of course some... interesting videos.

Hanging Out

Look at Thomas!  Here's a quick video we got today right before Daddy started making lunch.

Every day Thomas keeps getting more and more vocal and more and more cute!

Thomas Came Home

Although it's been over a month since Thomas was born, I have just finally been able to put together this video of us leaving the hospital and coming home.  Be warned that the video is around 4 minutes long, and that future videos will be much shorter (I get the feeling some people may not want to watch 4 minutes worth).

In case you have trouble viewing the video, please visit You Tube and watch the video!
