Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone...here are a few fun pics of our boy.

You'd think we have no heat in our house :)



...even though we have a fireplace!

More Christmas

Santa brought Sam a gift on Chritmas Eve...he wasn't too sure at first, but came around...



How could he not come around, Santa brought him a fun Hess Truck and candy cane



Santa also brought Sam a kitchen, which he hasn't stopped playing with!





and he has lots of food to cook on his new stove :)

Merry Christmas!

This is a very funny clip of a crabby Sam discovering that Santa came :)

Christmas with the Healys

The weekend before Christmas we celebrated with my parents, who came down from Massachusetts...

He didn't quite know what to do!

Is it Spring Training yet?

Maybe a little too early...but only a few months away!

Christmas Tree

Sam put his hat on to get into the spirit as we were decorating the tree...



The end result...

Blackout

We had a blackout for a few hours earlier this week. Sam had to eat by candlelight...

Sicko

We have a sick baby...a stomach bug :(

Cooking

Not Bobby Flay yet...but it's a start :)

Sam and Santa

Sam got his picture taken with Santa yesterday. He was a little more cheerful than last year, don't you think?

Trip to Massachusetts

We drove up for a quick overnight trip to Massachusetts the Friday after Thanksgiving so we could see my family and Sam could see his cousins. We stay in a hotel with suites and a pool because he's a whirlwind and we need a little space for him to make his messes :)

It was kind of a long ride up, but Sam was able to sleep through some of it...



When we got to the hotel it didn't take long for him to get into the pots and pans provided in the kitchenette...



Then he went for a swim in the pool, which is definitely his favorite part of the hotel...but he was so cold afterwards.



We got him bundled in his new hat and went off to a pizza party at Brian and Johanna's house.



We were able to get all the kids on one couch for a big group photo...this one seems to capture the personalities fairly well...



Then Sam hung out with grandma and ate...and ate...and ate!
