Virginia Beach

Back in the fall, we went to Virginia Beach for a triathlon that Mark was competing in. (Yes, very impressive, isn't it?). Jack helped Papa warm up before the swim leg. He then took the opportunity to do a little surfing of his own.

Bath time

Bath time was very placid tonight. (In truth, it's been a little rocky sometimes recently.) And I thought the monochromatic palette was nice too.

I just discovered that blogger crops pictures in the main screen. If you click on the pics, you'll get the whole thing and actually be able to see Jack.

Very literary

Yet again, jack looks better in my reading glasses than I do.

Dramatic Hair

One day a few weeks ago, Jack woke up with truly amazing hair. Evidence of going to bed with wet hair when you need a haircut, I suppose. Poor parenting. But not, as you'll see in the last picture, so bad that we sent him to school looking that way.

What a difference some water on a brush makes. Next, I'm trying that trick of my mom's for messy cheeks - the one involving spit and a thumb.

Christmas in Birmingham

So, the belated posting continues. During Christmas one day we needed to get Jack some exercise, and the weather wasn't so great. What to do? Go to the mall! They still had their Santa setup. I've always thought that purple crushed velvet said bordello more than Christmas, but maybe that's just me.
