Happy Halloween!!

Here's a link Sam's partner in crime :)

Flip Test

When we ordered FIOS when we moved, we were eligible to get a "Flip" camera as part of a promotion Verizon was having. It came today! Sam, who was not in the greatest of moods, was our test project. The result is:

Ba's Race

We went to LBI this weekend to cheer on Ba as he ran the length of LBI (18 mi!!). He looked strong the whole way, and we were all very proud!



We were at Mile 13, and Sam was in charge of giving Ba his Gu...a job he took very seriously; so much so that he needed Scoop to assist!



As you can see from the big smile, Ba was happy to get his gu!

Powder Room - Before and After

We recently finished our updating of our downstairs half bath...at least as much as we're going to do for the time being. We're leaving the blue tile for the time being, but we've at least made the room a little less blue - no more blue toilet!

Here's the pic from the listing...



...and our after our work (different color on the walls, new toilet, new mirrors, and new light fixtures).

School Pics!!

Sam got his first school pics! Here's the set of three poses, and his class pic.

First, his class pic. This will be invaluable in twenty years :)



This one is our favorite...he's got the smile and the hands going, and seems to be feeling proud of himself!



Here's a fall pose...



...and a weepy one. I wonder if this was the first one taken, or the last one?!

Lawn Work

A few weeks ago we put grass seed and fertilizer down to try to grow some grass. It worked, but there were a few patchy spots so we bought some more seed and Sam helped me put it down today, and then he helped me get the sprinkler going :)

Helping with the grass seed...



...and getting a little carried away with the sprinkler :)

Digger Truck Party

Sam turned two today! We threw him a fun "digger truck" party with our families and a few of his friends

Here's the cake...



Playing with one of his new trucks...



Opening something with his friend Elise



Here's a BIG truck! Not exactly sure where we're going to put it, but we'll find a place because Sam is going to love driving it!



Whose excited?!



Chowing down...



...and, of course, what would a party be without his best friend :)

Birthday Boy!

Someone got some tools for his B-Day!
