Adam and Richard's first time "shaving," and more pictures from our house

Over the past couple weeks, Adam has been insisting that we let him try shaving. Dan let Adam and Richard give it a shot this last Sunday before church.

Ready to start

Someone has the wrong idea, unless he has lots of hair when he grows up.

Look at all of those teeth!

Random pictures from home, and our last trip to the Tennessee Aquarium

Good Morning Truman.

Chunky Monkey #4

Sam has gotten into the habit of raiding the cupboards and sneaking food into random rooms to eat his treats.

"Fisheee!"

We purchased a year long pass the the Tenn. Aquarium when we moved here last March. If you go more than once, the membership pays for itself. We have had a lot of fun visiting the exhibits many times over the past year. We took our last visit this past Saturday.

Adam obediently following the rule of only touching the sturgeon with 2 fingers.

The babies did very well during the trip.

Richard saying "I'm starting to get angry!" He wanted Dan to take a picture of the Rattlesnake and didn't want his own picture taken.

The balancing act

So much for the "2 finger rule."

These pods were really interesting, they looked like something out of a science-fiction movie.

Richard showing "Sharkie" the real sharks.

Richard's funniest line from the trip:

"Mom and Dad, when I say that some of the other shark's are great whites, even when they aren't great whites, will you not say that they aren't great whites because that makes me cry." He used to insist that every shark there is a great white, Adam would always correct him, and he would have a fit. I guess he figured out that he was wrong, but he still wanted us to pretend.

Richard got a shark book.

Bath time for Truman, and a little Sam

Truman has been struggling with an ear infection. It's almost hard to say who suffers more during one of these infections, the baby who's in pain, or the rest of the family who has to endure non-stop crying, less sleep, and a whole lot of unrest. He is finally over the infection! During Truman's almost two week long ordeal, Dan took some pictures of Truman getting a bath in our kitchen sink. He was actually relatively happy during his bath.

We don't dress Sammy up, he pulls all of this stuff out on his own and struts all around the house. This is Sam doing his cool pirate look.

"Arrrgh."
