Halloween is almost here...so we let Thomas have at it! I guess I am one of those Mom's who doesn't let Tommy get messy often, cause when he had the chance, HE WENT FOR IT! Here are some pictures of our family home evening.
I snuck this pix in here...it was a few weeks ago when my parents were in town...But Thomas' face was just priceless...Really, he does love his Grandma and Grandpa...I think he was just mad we made him wear a skeleton instead of Superman or something.
Rob got a call from Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ this afternoon and guess what...HE GOT ACCEPTED! Rob was much more impressed with every aspect of this school than he was to Touro in Vegas...so we've decided (barring an acceptance to a better school) that we're going to Arizona! It's going to be really hot and I'm going to sweat all day, but I think we'll be able to afford a bigger place and I'll be able to decorate it so cute. I think I'll be able to survive as long as I am always in the Air Conditioning! On top of that amazing news, Rob also got word from the University of Utah and he has an interview scheduled for some time around November 10th! So, we're keeping our fingers crossed for that as well. Life is so good and the Lord is blessing us immensly!
I KNOW you cant BLOG TWICE in one day...But I never seem to get to have time to do this...so take it or leave it! Thomas got a "early" Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa and LOVES it. He jumps and plays for a long time...that's why I love it too! Daddy can get him going with his gut laugh, but by the time we grab the video camera, he decides he wants to stop. Luckily, this time I had the cell phone handy to capture this brief moment in time. It's a bad video, thus taken from a cell phone. But you get idea...How cute is this little man???
PS- we have no idea what Robbie is saying to Thomas...
We saw this and just died. We thought we needed to share this with all we love. Enjoy. PS- You will have to push pause on our music on our blog to the right to hear this awesome video.
I made this shirt for Thomas to wear on the day Rob took his MCAT. It's Yoda saying, "May the force be with you today daddy." Apparently it worked! Rob got his first acceptance letter to Medical School this past Thursday. He interviewed on Monday and got an email on Thursday giving him the good news. There were over 35 people interviewed and 4 were chosen, including Rob! We're so excited. The school is called Touro University School of Osteopathic Medicine. It's in Henderson (Las Vegas), Nevada, so we're going to be sweating to the oldies in the 130 degree summer heat for 4+ years. Touro is not the top school on Rob's list, by any means, but it's feels so good for us to have our foot in the door anyway. He has another interview in Phoenix, AZ in 2 weeks, so that's also a possibility. Most other schools will most likely contact Rob in the next month or so. So, We're going to MED SCHOOL! You can see the relief in Rob's face. He's so excited to be through the application process, MCAT, etc. So, Rob just has to finish up this hard semester and next semester he has 6 credit hours. Then we're off to our future adventure! Ready or not, here we come!
Hi. I am Thomas. I am 5 Months and 2 Weeks Old now. I run the ship around here, in case you were wondering. Here are some things about me right now:
I know...it's hard to believe that our little bundle of Joy...Ok...little tub of Joy hates to eat. he hates eating his bottle...we've tried every kind...every formula...he's an odd kid! So we tried rice cereal today, mixed with apple sauce...he hated that too. He was way more interested in how to get the spoon from Mommy's hands and into his own. He did succeed eventually, and gagged himself. He didn't learn cause he continued to gag himself over and over. I can tell I am a bad mom cause I giggled...I think I will be one of those mom's who laughs when my kid does something wrong and I am suppose to be so mad, but cant help but laugh out loud! Grow up Kate!
Tommy now likes to try and help hold his bottle, which usually is just a contest to see who can hold it in his mouth the longest before he pulls it out again and laughs. He has a problem eating a lot because he smiles and laughs so much. I find I cant talk to him or smile at home sometimes when I am feeding him or he is a gonner, and into deep gut laughing and thee is no chance of getting any food down him. Rob is the worst. He comes home for lunch and dinner just to see his little man...and the laughs that come from Tommy are unreal! Rob is the best daddy ever. He and Tommy have their time together each night...play, bath and bottle. I love it too cause I get a break!!
