two and a half man

as we approach another weekend, we thought we'd close out the week with more details from last weekend.

sunday morning featured a trip to the mall to have jack's 30 month -- or 2 and a half year -- picture taken.

three weeks out from christmas this might seem like a kamikaze mission, but luckily mommy brought nana along to help manage the chaos.

jack was actually a trooper and did great ... posing as requested and smiling for the camera. unfortunately we're at the age where smiling on command results in a crazy, pained look but despite the "cheesiness" we ended up with several cute photos.

here is himself's official portrait:

we finished up our trip to the mall with the requisite bribes paid to jack ... a visit to starbucks for a vivanno smoothie (aka "shake") and a stop at ll bean to see the catfish pool.

not a half bad sunday morning!
