Jake's first tailgate

Jake rallied and recovered from H1N1 this week just in time to attend his first tailgate. It was unseasonably warm in Columbia, so mommy took him out to say hi to Tara and Craig, Shannon, all four grandparents, and all the tailgating regulars before the Baylor game. Jake and mommy skipped the game and listened to it at grandpa Steve and grandma Sharon's house.

Tiger Football Saturday in Lenexa

While we missed being in Columbia for the game today, it was nice getting some R&R at home! The family dressed in black and gold to watch the Tigers beat up on Furman.

Jake has become quit attached to this friend, whom we have creatively named "Tiger".

Lockton has me traveling for a few days at a time on occasion, which means Kris is a single dad during those times. He and Jake get along great! As much as I hate being away, it's easier knowing my boys are doing alright. Most of the time, they spend their bachelor hours watching sports. Forget cartoons - Jake only pays attention to the TV when a football or baseball game is on!
