An Unlikely Alarm Clock

Jack, like much of Great Britain, has an unnatural fascination for Susan Boyle. Who's Susan Boyle, you ask? The crazy lady on "Britain's Got Talent" who stunned judges with her ability to sing all things Andrew Lloyd Weber. For some reason, Jack loves her. Jack isn't a happy or fast waker-upper, so this morning when the Today Show covered her improved mental status, I cranked the TV and yelled, "Hey Jack, Susan Boyle's on TV!" Within seconds, I heard the thumping of three-year-old feet as he sprinted down the hall to hear the same clip of "I Dreamed a Dream" over and over and over. Some people need coffe, but Jack's got Susan.

Watch Out for Sharks!

Jack and Griffin have had fun swimming at Grandpa Tom's and Grandma Patty's pool on the weekends.

My Little Sous Chef

As the resident baker of the family, I often enlist Jack's help in the kitchen. I'm determined to make him more adept in the kitchen than Bryan (who makes very good pancakes and PB&Js). So far, he makes a great sous chef and has a refined palatte for tasting cookie dough.
