Thomas the Train Chapter 1

As of October 5, 2009, Griffin's b-day, Thomas the Train has joined our family. And oh baby, in a big way! Everything revolves around "Thomas" and trains.......he is very into the movies, tracks, books, etc. We take them to the bath. We take them in the car. We take them EVERYWHERE! Wonder how many extra "Thomas" trains I need to stash away??? Santa are you listening????






Thomas on the grass???????? Interesting?????

Thomas going through tunnels, up and on the rim, and "oh " what is this, a ladybug maybe..........hmmmmmmm.......

Thomas loves grass, slides and climbers!

A Glorious and Fun Fall Day

What an awesome afternoon! Did I mention that the trees around "our town" are just beautiful and kind of "put you in your place." Griffin and I decided to go leaf hunting.....he found the BIG yellow leaf! A prize! This special time is so precious and goes by so fast.......why??? WE try so hard each day to be and do our best......and moments like this should stand still............precious baby is growing into a little boy...........so much fun!
