TommyLog – Just Spending Time With Dad

So this weekend was a guys only weekend with Mom, Clara and Emma out on fun adventures of their own. So it was just Tommy and Drew and myself to keep busy, we decided –well Tommy and I decided to go to Xtream Air trampoline park. Well Drew wasn’t having any part of this place. The special grippy socks and wrist band he needed to wear was a total deal breaker. Thinking the whole event was a bust in his eyes, I was totally shocked when he told me the BEST part if his entire weekend was the time we got to spend together. TOP THAT!

TommyLog – Paying it Forward – Blue Harbor Style

Spent the past weekend on a mini vacation with the whole family at Blue harbor Resort in Sheboygan, WI. What a treat to be away with my most favorite people in the whole world.

For today’s TommyLog I want to focus on what happened last night.
While eating dinner, we were approached by this elderly gentleman holding some hand crafted wooden toys — he gave one to Drew. Drew was just so excited to see this wooden helicopter. I could see this man had a red gym bag and it looked to be full of wooden toys. He proceeded to go around the restaurant handing out wooden toys to all the little girls and boys in the place. WOW oh WOW! This guy was just awesome.

Because Emma was in the bathroom when Drew got his toy, Emma thought she had missed out… But No way–the elderly man had his eyes on and knew when Emma returned and walked over to give her a bunny rabbit toy. How cool is that?

After some research we found a newspaper article on the names Jack Brill and how he gives out wooden toys wherever he goes. Stunning!

Well the coolest part was what my son Tommy said next. He leaned in and said in a whisper, “We should pay for their dinner.” What an excellent idea and one that we followed. I love that Tommy had the “Pay it Forward” spirit and knew when the time was right. What a blessing Tommy is to our family!
