Where does the time go. Baby Ian is now three months old, Thomas is in the throes of being a toddler, living up to the "terrible two's" legend. But even throughout we still find times of peace and calm. Ian is sleeping more closely to what pass for "through the night" and Thomas is as ornery as ever with jealousy over the divided attention. We really work on keeping him occupied and "entertained", and he works on teaching is ultimate patience!

Kiss the Frog

Thomas welcomes a new frog to the Croke Family. Bucky brought it home from a show one afternoon and it became such a distraction it quickly found an outdoors home on our back porch. Thomas is very thorough when he investigates new additions in his house, and we wanted to keep this heirloom intact.

Ian christening

otter pops rock Aunt Nancy!

There is nothing like a mass of family members to take an event weekend to the next level. Thank you to all for your contributions to an awesome weekend for Ian's baptism. Thomas enjoyed the attention too...especially the food and new toy cars!

Crokes, Laufenbergs and Barnetts unite!




Daddy, Thomas, Aunt Nancy and Ian







We are so sad to see them go but glad we were able to share so much with so many in a short period of time.
