Daylight savings is a misnomer

Claire, smile and I'll put you on the internets...

Pick a pumpkin, any pumpkin

Right field bleacher creature...my first Red Sox game at Fenway park...Jack didn't know why I kept yelling that Trot was overrated



The Labor Day Buzz Lightyear convention got a 6am start this year. Somewhere, downstairs neighbors are resting a bit easier

Blue Steel and the Golden Arches. Fierce!

Bad habits....

the time dad gets up and goes to sleep when Claire and I are in Georgia...

Cheap Labor...

The only place Claire hates to be is in the house these days...


Dad said if I want to play in the yard, I need to help keep it clean...

Getting ready to help dad with the yard work, more on that next week...


Claire is getting a bit too comfortable using my stuff...

Spring weekend

Nothing beats having a drink on the front stoop on a Friday while the pizza store gets dinner ready.

Claire is searching for the "sweet spot"

Claire practicing her "I didn't do it face"... Still needs some work, Claire!

My favorite things...

My jammies match my puzzle...dinos!

Claire couldn't get through lunch....Happens to dad too at work sometimes...

Claire's favorite thing to do is whatever I'm doing...

Love that Dirty Water!

I guess all the other seats in the house are taken, right Claire? You need to squeeze here?

Charlene rocks the Jackie-O's!

Push me, Claire! I need to get to work!

I'm thinking the tap water is the second dirtiest water in the house after this bath....
