my boys

3 peas in a pod.

these boys looooooove their daddy. not sure how to emphasize that enough.

sam

i cannot get enough of this boy.

a true fashionista.

grandma gibbs gave jack this awesome dr. jacket so he could be like his dad. sam wanted to try it on and i fell in love all over again. he loves to take my temperature, check my reflexes (my belly-button reflex is doing well, by the way), and give me shots.

he is at that stage where his vocabulary multiplies exponentially every day. i am astounded at how much he picks up. i love hearing him reply in his little voice "kay, mommy", or "sah-ee" (sorry), or "HHHIIII, JACK!" so cute.

jack

oh jack. there are no words.

okay, maybe there are some...like what prevented you from continuing your masterpiece and painting the whole body? or maybe that i would have gone with a different shade of blue? but mostly i just said, i'm so glad your dad is home to deal with this.

this is what happened one day when he didn't feel like taking a nap but i shut him up in his room anyway.

look at him, he's seriously feeling cool in this one.

this is supposed to be a shot of sam but jack was really happy to stick himself in the foreground.

i'm not totally sure what these pics are. a sword and cheesestick wielding ninja, i guess.

this kid has more personality in one finger than i do in my whole body. he's stinkin' smart, funny, and a true baller. seriously. and he's almost 4. wha?!?...
