Becoming Greek

Mac's ABC Remix....

Should Mac get a haircut?

This Christmas we are in a dilemma... We are not sure whether we should cut Mac's hair or not. Currently, he is kind of sporting a mullet. But it is just a shaggy bunch of hair covering his cranium. I would like to see him grow it a little longer, but you are more than welcome to give us your opinion. Mac is very much against the whole haircut idea as seen in the video..... Give us your feedback!

Jennifer Garner in NYC

Last Night Jamie and I had a little date night to New York City to watch the play Cryano De Bergerac. It was a great play and Jamie was able to meet one of her favorite movie stars Jennifer Garner. It is a great story and you should read it on Jamie's Blog. I snapped the pictures while Jamie took the pose and got an autograph. I was so impressed with how great of a person that she is in real life!!!

The Big Game

The other day we took the boys to see their first O’s game. I had so much fun. Brady had his first $4.50 hot dog. We also had a crazy drunk couple behind us. The guy was so funny. Yelling at players about his nephew who struck them out in the minor’s. Also, he talked a ton about the minor league team near his house.
Brady would cheer and get really excited, and this guy was really nice when Brady would turn around and yell in their direction. Towards the 6th inning I mentioned to his girlfriend about something. I specifically used the term “tell him…..”. After he walked down front and waved at the camera and made a fool of himself I heard his girlfriend calling him a her. Ekk… He was a she…. Boy what a deep voice for a girl.
The best part was Brady and the mascot. All he wanted to do was see the bird. And when we did he got so scared. Yet, he was obsessed with the bird. All he wanted to see was the bird. He still talks about how dad took him to see the bird. What a cute kid...
We are looking forward to these next few months to have lots of great family moments. Next time we go we will have to focus on the players a little more. Most of us would go wild to meet the player making millions not the college student stuck in a bird outfit. I guess it is all a matter of perspective. I will teach him in the years ahead to focus on the real stars, and not the flashy ones wearing costumes. I am sure there is a leadership lesson in there somewhere if you are tracking with me…..

Brady turned 2 years old Today!!!! We threw a huge party for him after church yesterday, and he had the time of his life! As a parent it is so awesome to see your kid have the time of his life. He had the ultimate party, and I loved seeing him so happy.

Brady walked away yesterday like a pirate who just pillaged a toys r us…. Thanks to all those that made his birthday party the best. He is always going to remember his PA birthday party!!!

One part of the birthday that made things out of the park was the bouncy castle. Thanks to our friends across the river we were able to let Brady have the time of his life. Normally he gets a few minutes and then has to get off. I think he jumped for 4 hours yesterday. Man, that was so great to see him have the time of his life.

Viva piñata!!! A great party is made with a piñata. Thanks to Isabel all the kido’s enjoyed the candy. Those little buggers can be hard to break.

Mr Incredible

Brady was in another pool today. The mission’s pool party was a smash, and I wanted to thank all those who hooked us up with the team pictures. I felt I needed to give you a visual of his Mr Incredible suit. In this picture he is reminding all those doers of evil - “I am watching and waiting”….. Another nice reminder that the world is a safer place, thanks to Brady.

Fearless

Brady is fearless. Yesterday we were at the Petersons and Brady wanted to try the diving board. So I grabbed him in my arms and took a huge jump up….. We then crashed into the pool and I sprung off the bottom to the surface. He looked surprised and then said “again”…… So, Jimmy, Aarron and I took turns treading water, letting him jump to us, and then retrieving him to the shore. I was exhausted and realized how out of shape I am. It did not help that I was wearing P Troy’s swimming shorts (long story). Anyways, it is that type of fearless attitude we need when jumping into the unknown. I want that attitude when I jump into Greek waters…..
