Day Out With Thomas!

It was our third year in a row to see Thomas the Tank Engine. Aside from the accidental detour we took on the way there, we had a great time. It was nice to have an extra set of hands this year too - Grandma Darlene and Grandpa Bob joined us!







This picture of Owen totally reminds me of my brother Mark!











And talk about a small world! When Drew and Owen were riding this small train, Drew got off and said, "Mommy, Mommy, look! There's Brady from preschool!"

It was so sweet to watch the two of them immediately recognize each other. And just what you would expect from two little girls, I watched Drew and Brady wrap their arms around each other for a BIG, tight hug! It was soooo sweet! I was happy to watch two little boys demonstrate the behavior I thought was reserved for sweet little girls . . . I'll definitely take it while I have it. I know that my sweet little boys will be all grown up way too fast!





By the way, this picture surprised me - I seriously thought that Drew was the tallest boy in his preschool class, but apparently not! Brady has Drew beat by a long shot!

Baby Evan enjoyed the day with Thomas too (check out his video)! He has officially expanded his vocabulary to include, "Uh-oh!"
