yes, this child is wearing a helmet

oh yeah, when i inquired about it (i asked if he had some kind of injury or surgery performed), i was informed it was because his head was "mis-shaped."

too bad he was a cardinals' fan that day

he's just lucky he's cute anyway

mommy-less trip

micah and emmit took a little journey to STL this past weekend for butch and aunt barb's birthdays. they left me back home to work :(  apparently, gramee remarked on how well behaved her grandson was ALL weekend!  makes mommy proud  :)  so i guess these pictures were taken on friday evening while talking to mommy on the phone.  what a loooooong weekend it was for me.... 

Happy Birthday, Aunt Barb!
