Texas - Sept 2009-Mom, and 2 kids actually braved air-travel to Texas to show off Declan!

Hey Mom, Are you sure dad won't have a problem with these cowboy boots?

What about with my new Houston Astros cap?

Mama - Even the baseball is bigger in Texas.

Uh, OH, I think they might be trying to convert me...

PawPaw - What happens if I do this?

Ummm...Uncle Daniel, can you please put me down? I've got some fishing to do...

Jameson and PawPaw go fishing at the Galleria!

On the train at Hermann Park...

And at the Zoo... How do you like my orange floppy hat on Pawpaw?

Declan with his Godfather - Hey, Lala - these surgical gloves work great as balloons...

Mommy & Daddy - Can I have one too?

Exhausted...

Jameson turns 2!

It's hard to believe, but Jameson is 2 years old. He celebrated in fine style, as these photos show:

Welcome Declan

Yep,it's officially a two-kid blog now. Please welcome Declan Thomas McEntire. jaamesonadndeclanspad.com seems like too long a name for a website, so we'll stay as is. Jameson was very excited to meet his little brother, particularly given Declan's "gift" of a baseball glove. The two are already bonding, though. Here are some of the first shots of Declan and family:

Jameson's sweet new ride

In preparation for the arrival of his new brother, Jameson has been breaking in the new single/double convertible stroller. He loves it and refuses to get out of it at times. But then he discovered the box in which it was shipped. Now that's his new favorite toy.

A boy, his dog and hats

Jameson loves hats...



Jameson loves his dog...

It only makes sense Jameson would put a hat on his dog...

Jameson helps around the house

Airplanes and Dumptrucks - what more could a boy ask for?

The upside to mom being on bedrest is that we've had lots of visitors come to entertain, um, I mean take care of Jameson. And lots of "adventures" as Jameson says.

One Saturday was especially exciting. Jameson's day began with swim lessons where he received a certificate of completion. He was so proud of his purple paper.








That was followed by a real live dumptruck visit to our house. Jameson was in awe as the dump truck deposited a load of gravel at the end of the driveway. Brian was less in awe because he knew he had to spread the gravel. The driver was nice enough to let Jameson climb up in the cab.





And if that was not excitement enough, Auntie Ida and Jameson spent a quality afternoon running through the Air & Space Museum. Jameson loved the planes but especially loved seeing the space shuttle.
