I like Jay Bruce. As you may know, he hit a certain home run back in September. I think the replay of it is pretty great. I mean, you get to see a home run followed by all of my favorite players jumping up and down. I continue to watch Jay Bruce each night. Sometimes I act out the play and then run around the "bases" at home, and then make Mommy, Daddy, and Luke meet me at the "plate" for celebration. Other times - like that in this video - it's slightly (slightly) more subdued. Enjoy.

Good luck had just stung me, to the racetrack we did go...
...I bet on one horse to win, Luke bet on another to show.
Ha. Enough with singing lyrics from The Band (Pupu would like it though).
I wanted to tell a story about going to Keeneland on Sunday with Mommy, Daddy, and Luke.
We got there just in time to see a race being run.
Here we see the horses coming around the turn.
Right in front of us.
And off they go...
Luke and I loved it. We were a couple little railbirds.
Here Daddy keeps an eye on Luke from a distance.
And, accompanied by a cup of juice, I keep an eye on them.
Unfortunately no pictures of Mommy (she looked very pretty); she was operating the camera for the day. The best I can do is this picture, where Luke and I were roughhousing. Mommy cast a long shadow over us...:)
After about 4 races we got tired. After all, it was naptime when we got there. So, you can imagine how we felt by the time we played hard in the sun for a few hours. (Daddy note: be sure to click on the picture to really appreciate Luke's surly face.)
We both wanted Daddy to carry us out. As a result, he was the big winner for the day.

Life is more fun when shared
Sure I have a good time by myself. But we've found that life is more fun when shared with a brother...or a Mommy, or a Daddy.

Giving Daddy a Haircut
Yesterday I got a haircut. I've gone from dreading the experience to really enjoying it, and I was a very good boy during the process.
After we got home, I decided Daddy was looking a little shaggy. So, I made Daddy sit down and I gave him a haircut too.
**Daddy Notes:
What's pretty darn hilarious about this is that Jack mirrored his haircut experience exactly. He put the couch cushion as if it was the booster seat that was placed on the chair. He put a barber's cape on me (in the form of a blanket). He used his toys to cut my hair, then used a "hose" that got the hair off me, and then an electric razor that trimmed up his back. He made me look in the mirror (his glasses) to see if I approved of the haircut. He helped me down off the chair and then got the napkin-ish collar off my neck that he had "forgotten" to "remove." If you had seen the actual haircut, and then saw how he imitated it, it's even funner than it is already.

Luke showing his talking skills
Those close to my youth will recall that I held off on expressing my thoughts verbally. In fact, Mommy and Daddy got worried just a little bit (now they suggest that it might be wise for me to make sure I get some breaths in between all the talking).
No such worries for Luke. He's talking all the time, even at this relatively young age.
He also knows his animal sounds pretty well. The video proves it. How about his kitty-cat?

First Day of School
Today was my first day of school at Mercy Montessori. Mommy and Daddy have been telling me about it, and when I went to check the place out it seemed fine. But I was pretty...indifferent about it all. Here I am, before we leave, being indifferent.
I was in better spirits outside.
Here I am with one of the teachers getting me out of the car.
So, I don't have a lot of details to convey, but I had fun at school.
Here I am getting picked up. I'm cute.
Getting out of the car.
Back outside the house...
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you all about it. But I've got to get to bed, it's a school night!

The rest of vacation
After we spent the first day or so just the four of us, we went to a house to meet up with Kyoko Obachan, Ed Ojichan, and lots of other fun people.
Yeah, this house will work.
Doing some initial exploring.
Cousin Callie arrived and I gave her a big hug.
Here we are sharing a snack with Kyoko Obachan.
Heading down to watch the sun go night-night in the water.
Not a bad place for cookies and milk.
The next day - and pretty much the rest of the trip - I wanted to spend my waking hours on the beach.
Whose beach is this?
Mommy with Cousin Callie...
...and Luke.
The next day Luke made a relatively lengthy appearance on the beach; he didn't like it as much as I did.
Just how big is he?
The whole gang.
A couple days into the trip my friend Anthony arrived and, boy, did we have fun together.
Probably my favorite thing to do was to run through this shallow creek that fed into the lake. It was much warmer than the lake, and because there were only 6-18 inches of water, just my style.
Luke was getting tired.
That night it was down to the deck again to watch the sunset.
The next day still more playing around.
Anthony blew bubbles for Callie and me to catch.
Luke, doing his thing.
Good times.
Ever since I've gotten home, I have talked about going back to the "new fun house" ("new" because the house from last Labor Day weekend was the original "fun house"). Hopefully soon.
Love,
Jack
