I can post again if I want to!

You can practically set your watch by how regular updates are around here! If your watch is broken and on fire.

Or something. It's too early in the morning for me to think. But I'm cleaning off a memory card so I can take my camera out tonight and found this picture on it and figured I'd share. It's from Tommy's birthday.

Ever wonder what a 4-year-old boy looks like?

He looks like this, that's what.

Happy birthday, monster!

Tommy finds a unique Fathers Day gift

Finding a unique and memorable gift for Fathers Day is a challenge for any 3-year-old boy, but as a future world conqueror, Tommy's challenge was that much greater. Then, a brilliant idea struck him: Why not conquer a castle and share that with his family? Here you can see the commemorative photo of the conquest.

Later, Tommy demonstrated his magnanimity by sharing the castle with his cousins.

Tommy recruits an animal companion

Tommy was worried that having only human lackeys was a real weakness in his future empire, and decided to overcome it by recruiting a lion as a faithful companion (and convenient disposal method for his enemies...) Tommy is seen here sharing a powerful bonding moment with Snickerdoodle.

Tommy gets a new car!

Of course, he made his mommy pay for it and register it in her name and he makes her drive it... but that's OK, it's still a very nice blue car!

Tommy ascends

Here we see the early stages of Tommy's ascension to godhood. Tremble before him! Or not. Your choice really.

(Why yes, I was playing around with my camera this morning. Why do you ask?)

Apparently there's been a request

Andrea tells me that her family has ordered me to put this up on here. So... there you go. At least Tommy's in the picture, so we can pretend it's relevant? I dunno. I'm just doing what I've been told.

Randomness on a Thursday evening

Tommy got new pyjamas. He's a super-hero! But it's a secret, so don't tell anyone!


And here, Tommy sings a song for your enjoyment. He's a little confused on some of the lyrics, but that's OK. It's still a pretty good song. Enjoy!

Tommy works too hard

Tommy had a very busy day today entertaining his cousins and his aunt and uncle and his grandparents. As you can see here, it wiped the poor fella right out.

Tommy is less disreputable

We finally got Tommy to the barber shop. It was a very giggly experience. But in the end, the barber prevailed, and Tommy has a fresh new haircut!

Yes, this was the best picture I could get

Tommy does NOT stand still for pictures. I think I could make it happen if I drugged him, but since that's not going to happen, I just have to hope that I catch him while he's distracted. And since he loves cameras, it's hard to get him distracted when there's a camera out! But here's the best shot I could get.
