World Champions

Tucker, Kyle and I are still in some sort of disbelief that the Cardinals won it all... too good to be true. We feel so removed from the celebration being away from St.Louis where everyone is still going crazy. No one here cares about baseball. We were so in to the World Series that Halloween snuck up on us -- we are LITERALLY the biggest slacker parents that ever lived. No pumpkins. Half of two costumes - we haven't decided which way we are going yet. No decorations. No Halloween plans. Tucker, we promise we will get it together for you next year! Yesterday we were determined to head to the precious pumpkin patch one mile from our house - photo ops galore - but driving by I noticed, hmm.. no pumpkins. The fence is not up anymore. Sure enough! They had closed down the pumpkin patch before we got there!!! Poor Tucker. Maybe next year. We'll blame it on our Cardinals. We were totally distracted!

Game 4

Tucker got to stay up for the 1st inning on Tuesday night and he was ALL over the game. This kid loves sports. He stands in front of the TV and swings his imaginary bat -- then cracks up at himself. He claps and cheers when the crowd erupts (this was usually for the wrong team since the game was in Detroit). Anyway, he had to go to bed, but wore his Pujols jersey to bed for good luck. It worked! The Cards ruled!

Memphis

What a cute family pic! We're so excited for Rob & Grace -- they are expecting their first in May. Tucker wanted to be adopted, but he had to come home with us.
Rob, Grace, Kyle and Tucker at the MUS Football Game. Tucker saw lots of sporting events - the MUS game to watch Kyle's old Rhodes coach who now coaches there, the Rhodes field hockey game AND the Rhodes football game. It was, as always, phenomenal being back in Memphis. So many memories, but mostly just great time with Rob & Grace.

Independence

He got better with each bite.

Little Man

What is it about a pair of corduroy pants that makes a 15 month old look 4??
He loves his Daddy's sunglasses.

Teasing Jackson... Jackson will wait an hour just for the chance at one goldfish. Tucker's smirk shows you how fun this little game has become for him.

Helping Dad

Helping "paint"
Soaking wet from running through the sprinkler.


Not afraid to run through the sprinkler to get to Dad in the garage.

Always busy...

Tucker's "game" this morning: Pushing the table through the house with Mom's shoe on his foot.
