Jack and Tommy prepare for their New Year's Eve dinner on the patio. Stone crabs have quickly become a favorite food for both of them. Mom and Dad have to fight them off as they circle like vultures, fighting for one more bite.
(Grandma Barbara, who knew an obsession for stone crab claws is hereditary).
On the dock at the Shannon villa. A beautiful end to the day!
Grandma, Jack, and PapPap go to Taco Mac to watch the Steelers squeak one out
Daisy loves to eat everyone's toys. All the boys are caught here trying to hold her back. Thomas' quote of Christmas 2009 - "No Daisy No!"
Luckily, Santa saw the note that a basketball is #1 gift on Jack's list. The dribbling through the house is driving Mom mad.
Jack and Jackson have a birthday party at the GSU women's basketball game

The skate blades are facing forward. That was progress.
Uncle Enrico teaches Jack how to play European soccer...the next photo was is Enrico contorting himself on the ground holding his ankle and calling for a foul.
A Father-Son bonding moment. Jack won the candy race.
No one could refuse these boys. We have a HUGE bag of candy. PS - Tommy is a lion. He loved roaring but never put up his hoodie. He carried his "meal" (a little sheep) around with him all night too.
Don't get in my way! Jack is serious about making this goal. And, notice his tongue is out as he's running.
Jack is racing for the ball. The Soccerdiles had a great game today and all our players scored. Way to go team!
Avery and Ellis think Jack should be concerned if they are hunting wild nuisances.
Jack and Michael visit the Center for Puppetry Arts and get into the show.
Unfortunately none of the Braves' bats bothered to show up for his 7 inning, one run outing--Jack and I did though.
Jack, Terrance and Dale enjoy a lobster treat from the DeGarmo's. Jack is sill not too sure if lobster is friend or foe, until he enjoys some meat. Yum!
The boys were excited to share their interests with Julie . Thomas pulled out all his favorite toys, and then Jack made her watch him play Mario carts.
Jack climbed 178 steps to the top of the Tybee Island Light Station.
Jack is ready for Decatur's Pied Piper 4th of July Parade
Manions and Graces do a little Strawberry picking on Memorial Day. Now what to do with two gallons of strawberries?
Jack is very excited to have a new cousin. Aunt Julie had a baby girl on Sat April 11 at 5:32. No name yet, 6 lbs 15.8 oz. and only a blackberry picture so far. Jack is calling her Pretty Girl, although his next top choices are Drake and Jessie. Hopefully she'll have a name when Julie and Pretty Girl leave the hospital tomorrow. Congrats Aunt Julie and Uncle Doug!
The egg hunters got together for a photo before the elbows and competitive streaks came out and the egg hunt began.
Quote of the day: Abby consoling Jack because she found 24 eggs to his 17., "you will never be last, because you have a younger brother."
Hope your baskets are full of good stuff, like cars.
Because a sandbox is too pedestrian for this generation. Jack and dad just assembled Tommy and his new "sand center"
