Cousin Jack's Putting Green

Brody loves Cousin Jack's putting green. We call it Cousin Jack's putting green because I asked Brody "is it Uncle Jack's putting green?" He said, "no, it's Cousin Jack's putting green." He loves it so much that during his nightly prayer he said "...and thank you for the putting green at Jack's house, and Jack uses the green club, and I use the blue club, and Daddy uses a club from his trunk. Mommy do you have a club in your trunk?"

Maybe this picture will be on CBS when Brody and Jack are playing The Masters in 2030.

Brody's Puzzles

Brody is great at doing puzzles. He is up to doing 48 piece puzzles. Good puzzles are hard to find because a lot of the kid's puzzles are lenticular 3D puzzles.  These puzzles are really hard to see and do. I don't know why they are so popular.  Here he is doing a Toy Story puzzle earlier today.

Trip to Disney

We went to Disney World this past weekend. It was hot, but we still had a great time. We stayed in Clermont with Gloria and Duke Doyle. We got to visit with Carly and Scotty while Chase and Brody got to hang out with their little buddy Landon (actually he isn't so little, and he is walking). Clermont is a really nice area, and we had a great time visiting.

Brody was really excited to see Goofy's Gummies.

Back To School

Chase returned to school this morning. We were a little concerned about how he would react to going back to school, but he was terrific. Drop off went smoothly and Laura called the school to check in and they said he was having a great time.  It doesn't take much to get Chase to smile as you can see below.

Chase has come a long way with his eating habits.  He eats pasta with sauce, chicken, black beans and rice, almond yogurt, watermelon and cantaloupe among other things.  With his allergies it can be a little challenging, but Laura has done a great job introducing all different types of foods.


Here is Chase eating black beans and rice.  We were shocked at how much he loved it.

Here is Chase eating almond yogurt.

Playing up to the Olympics theme, Brody received a gold medal in his gymnastics class today.

Brody had a quick visit with Grandma at her work.  Grandma has plenty of pictures of the kids on her desk at work.  She has a picture of Chase by himself on her desk, but didn't have one of Brody by himself.  Brody wanted to know why there wasn't a picture of just Brody on her desk.  :-)

Young At Art

Brody and Chase really love Young At Art Children's Museum in Davie. It is an amazing museum for kids. There is a HUGE play area for kids. It is great for the parents because you can sit there and watch the kids roam around from activity to activity. Brody especially enjoyed playing with an ice cream scooping set. Funny thing is that Daddy used to work at an ice cream parlor all through high school. There is a Broward County Library attached that has a large children's section. Brody checks out a bunch of Berenstain Bears books each time he goes.  Young At Art is a very cool place that every kid needs to visit.

Chase Being Goofy

Chase can be goofy sometimes.  When he sees a picture that he likes, he gets up really close to it.  Below that, is a picture that illustrates how tough it is to keep him in the shopping cart.  For that matter it is hard to keep him sitting in one spot anywhere.  You can see that from the video of him drinking his almond milk and playing around while not letting the cup leave his mouth.
