As promised...

A picture of a boy and his Pops:





Poor Pops! As soon as he walks in the door after work, Brennan backs up to him and says "Ride...Ride...Ride"- the little squirt can be quite relentless! I guess there is one good thing about him being in the 5th percentile for weight & height :o) We love you, Pops!

Happy Father's Day!

Brennan asked me to post an extra-special message to his Daddy, Pops, J-Pop, and all of the other awesome dads that he knows. Happy Father's Day! We love you :o)

(Please note I am typing this blog from Cobb Island, MD and have no pictures of B with his Pops to post. Check back for a picture on Monday!)

Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot!

It has definitely been hot, hot, hot around here lately. It's sad when you're excited to see the meteorologist only predict a high of 90, because that pales in comparison to the 105 degree weather we had last week and the beginning of this week. Although, after watching the news this morning and seeing the reports of flooding, tornados, and wild fires I feel selfish for complaining about a little discomfort from heat and humidity. Afterall, I am quite blessed to have a roof over my head, food in my belly (though maybe a little less food wouldn't hurt!), clothes on my back, and most importantly - central AC! Here are some pictures of my little friend enjoying the sunshine.

Brennan and the 3 B's!

1) Big B - Last week we got to spend some time with Big B who was in town from San Diego. He was chosen to attend a conference in Quantico, VA and fortunately the Marines allowed him to take some leave and come home for a week afterwards. It's always great seeing him and Lil B LOVES spending time with Uncle B. In fact, he was sure to tell all of us it's "My B!".

2) Ba - Brennan has finally parted with his beloved "Ba" (pacifier). He loved it dearly, but was becoming far too attached to it and wanting it all the time and not just at night/nap. He's almost 2 years and 4 months and we're trying to potty train him so it was time for him to be a big boy and say goodbye to Ba. So, this past Saturday B and I went to Target and did some shopping. He decided that he would give his Ba to the "yady" (lady) cashier and buy a...

3) Big Boy Bike! That's right, his very first big boy bike with training wheels. It's really small and absolutely adorable. He's learning to use the pedals instead of his feet and he's doing great. Of course I haven't taken any pictures (sorry!). So the first couple days he asked for his Ba I just reminded him that it's gone because he gave it to the lady. So far, so good!
