Sam and His Peeps

Sam and his friends, Matt, Thomas and Elise (L-R) digging in!

The Twin Lights

Sam and I went to the Twin Lights today while mom worked. It was a fun little adventure, despite the wound on his face (which he got racing down a hill and falling into some trimmed brush).

It was a beautiful, but chilly, day...



Sam was brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the light...



He also learned how the lights were operated in the museum.



...and he ran around the grounds, and even sat on an old cannon...

Sandbox

It was such a nice day here today, so we went to Lowe's to get some sand for Sam's sandbox. It was the best thing we could have done! So fun to see such excitement over a seemingly little thing :)

Mom and Sam hanging out on a beautiful day!



A happy boy!



...and a busy one ;)

Waking Up From Naptime - Fixed

The Waking Up From Naptime clip is fixed. Thanks to Elise for pointing out the glitch :)

A Little Ice Cream

Mom and Sam went for ice cream on this nice day while I worked. Lucky them!

St. Patrick's Day

Since the Irish can usually spin a yarn, this seems appropriate :)

The First Bike Ride

We had a really nice day today, and the sun is out a little longer, so Sam got to take his first "outside" bike ride on his new bike!



Afterwards, he played in the yard...

Arts and Crafts

We went to Pennsylvania today to see Abi's Aunt Bev, Aunt Sue, Papa and Grandma P. It was a treacherous drive, but a nice visit with everyone. Sam, Owen, and Carmela were great. They took over the kitchen with arts and crafts projects. We didn't get too many pics of the whole gang, but we'll post more if Papa emails some to us!

Artwork is serious business...



...Even chatting with the puppy can't stop the artistic juices!

Billy Elliot...I mean Sam :)

Just funny...seems like he should have a sword in his hand and be fencing or something.

"So We Don't Slip"

After the park (post below) we came home and Sam HAD to shovel. He shovels a little every day "so we don't slip." His versioin usually consists of whipping it really hard at Abi's car, which is generally in his way. In these, he's far enough away that the cars were spared, but you get the idea :)

It was a nice day yesterday so we took Sam to the park to do a little running around, which he took full advantage of! These pics make him look so big!

Climbing on the jungle gym...



Riding the whale...yee haw!



Investigating the putting green...



Under the Dinosaur...



Playing with "stuff"...



...and deciding where to run next!
