Thank You Aunt Lori

Check out Sam's new Handy Manny sweatshirt, a special gift from Aunt Lori!

Fun Weekend in Columbia

We have returned from a great little family weekend in Columbia where we stayed with Poppa, Nana Beth and Aunt Selena. Sam had lots of fun in the park riding the mini steam trains and doing some major swinging with Poppa. Miss Jane invited us to a delicious fish fry at her house, where Sam played hard and entertained everyone around him - as you would expect. Lots more pics on grandsboy.

Mother's Day Out

Every Friday, Ash sends me a picture of Sam after he's dropped him off at Mother's Day Out. Here's a glimpse of the little man at school.

He's in the green-and-white striped shirt.

Already a teacher's pet

Washing the Car with Daddy

He's quite the little helper!

The Spider Song

So of course Sam was singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" continuously before I got out the camera. Once the camera was rolling, he wasn't quite as into it as before. Nonetheless, this is still pretty cute. Enjoy!

New Monkey Friend

Meet Sam's new monkey friend. When unrolled, he turns into a mat Sam can lay down on and (in theory) take a nap. So far, Sam refuses to let me unroll him. He likes to climb up in the chair every morning, put his arm around the monkey, and talk to him.

Breakfast time

Vegas Baby

Ash and I have returned from Vegas, where we had a most wonderful time. Everyone is now sick, but we're all glad to be home. A very special thank you to Grand and Granddaddy for taking care of (a sick, teething) Sam and the animals while we were out winning Sam's future inheritance.
