Who Needs the Worm When You Can Have the Puppy?

Double Trouble Take a Trip to the Catskills

And they dragged their parents along with them.

Otis loved the fresh air.

Sam and the Pickle had a brief love affair over the weekend but this picture shows that Otis was beginning to make his move early on.

Sam told me all about his crush.

Otis loves Uncle Jim.

The Pickle tried to console Sam after explaining that the weekend fling was over.

The boys and their backseat best friend, Rebecca.

There's No Crying in Baseball: Unless You Are Really Really Hungry

It took me awhile but I've finally written up two very momentous events - the boys' first baseball games.

1. Camden Yards in May

2. Queens in June

Fun With Pacifiers

Pacifiers are relaxing.

They help you sleep.

You can stick your thumb inside them.

You can try to punch them out of your brother's mouth.

Nap Time is a Great Part of Any Day

A July Weekend in Jersey, Part II

Hey - it's the Peanut and the Buddha!


Sam was so happy to hang out with the big kids that he didn't mind the rabbit ears or the blue egg about to be put on his head in the previous picture.

Hey - it's the Dumpling!


I think I'm ready to drop the boys off at the Peanut's house for some babysitting.

Sam wasn't sure what to think of the Buddha.


Kiss!

A July Weekend in Jersey, Part I

Earlier this month, I went on an abbreviated baseball trip. SHR took the boys to NJ for a fun filled weekend.

Halmony and the boys

Sam relaxed in a new chair.

The Big O after a bath.

Halmony likes to pull the boys' shorts up way high. Otis got off easy.

Sam did not. He protested looking like such a nerd.

Walk time


Super cute sleep time


Otis suffers the plight of big brothers across the world - pesky little brothers who can't stop pestering them.


Otis is getting straight A's in tummy time these days.

Sam - not so much.

Hooray for straight A's!

Sam wondered if this was close enough for an A.

The Boys Spend a Lot of Time With Mr. Mom These Days

Sam and his friend the worm.


Otis usually wins these kinds of battles but Sam was having none of it on this day.

More toys!


Sometimes brothers like to sit on each other.

Sometimes they wonder why their dad makes one brother sit on another.

Middle of the night cuteness.

Sam auditions for an American Apparel ad.

A good moment of the day for Mr. Mom - dual nap time.

Rooftop pizza time.

Sam liked hanging out. Otis was bored.

Jim and Otis

Otis - 3 seconds before nap time.
