A Day out with Thomas

Thomas the Tank Engine came to the Strasburg railroad last week.

It was a beautiful fall day and the boys had a blast. Jack was especially captivated by the "GREAT BIG THOMAS!"

We paid a visit to Sir Topham Hatt, who was slightly creepy and fascinated Jack and PJ both.

We had an open-air car for our ride and PJ loved feeling the air and seeing the cows outside.

A nice lady waiting in line took our photo while we waited to leave. We don't have too many family photos because one of us is always behind the camera. Usually it's me, and I'm happy to keep it that way.

Jack did a lot of staring. He couldn't get over how big Thomas was.

We had a great time!

Cloth diapers

Anyone use cloth diapers? If so, which brand(s)/style(s) do you like?

I'm thinking of switching to cloth for baby #3 (pictures to come - just had an ultrasound on Thursday!) in an effort to cut down on expenses.

This quick post is to let you know about (and to enter myself for) a chance to win 6 cloth diapers from Bum Genius.

Why we love Aunt Devon

My boys love their Aunt Devon.

She always runs around with them, plays silly games, and gets them laughing.

Saturday afternoon, we enjoyed the gorgeous weather in the backyard.

Raise your hand if you love shorts with long sleeved t-shirts.

(Not on myself, of course - my legs have taken on an elephantine quality that comes from being perpetually pregnant for the last four years or so - but on my boys, love it!)

Devon carried PJ around on her shoulders and at one point, jokingly asked, "Where's PJ?" He responded by peeking around and saying "Here he is!"

I adore this photo.


Devon's not afraid to get all kinds of silly.

"Jack, how far do you think I can push this monster truck?"

"I don't know, Aunt Devon."

"Well, let's see!"



And there it goes, both boys in hysterics about how fast it went down the hill.

Well, maybe not PJ. He has a hard time showing his emotions, but he's laughing on the inside, I assure you.



Aunt Devon will be moving to California soon, and while we're excited for her new adventure, we're going to miss the heck out of her.

We love you, Aunt Devon!
