One Smart Boy

Sam picks up learning like I pick up his toys. Daily. Unendingly. And, at least for him, with incredible ease. It is with little effort on my part that he started recognizing numbers, colors, shapes, letters, sounds, etc.

And now? My three year old just read me a book. Check this out. (It's long... for the grandparents... don't feel obligated to watch all of it.)

Farewell Longfellow Park Building

So many other Boston people have already posted, but I am also so sad at the loss of this building. There are many memories there. Like Lisa introducing me to Matt. Attending church. The historic surroundings. Boston in general. I'm sad to see it go. I wonder where all those people are going to attend church now...???



Farewell Longfellow Park Building. Thanks for all the fun memories!

I Can Spell My Full Name!

(All by himself, Sam sounded out and spelled his full name
using alphabet magnets on the fridge...)

Spaghetti Adventure

Zack loves just about any food we put in front of him. He shovels it in as fast as he can and gets upset if he finds anyone eating anything and he is not also eating that same thing. Funny little man. He is SO the anti-Sam when it comes to eating.

Here are his latest spaghetti adventures.

Flour Flour Flour... and Wedding Dresses

After my last UBER long post, I figured I didn't have to post again for a while. But I'm getting quite sick of seeing a large picture of ME when I open my blog. So, here's something new for you (and me) to see. :)

Sam and I made cinnamon rolls this morning. Sam likes to help me cook, bake, etc, and I like to give him the opportunity to pour in ingredients, sprinkle cinnamon, etc. Usually this takes MUCH longer and creates a huge mess, but is worth it. This morning's activities were quite messy. I still need to mop up there to get all the flour residue off my floor...

Driving cars in flour. Hours of entertainment.This is what I get when I say "SMILE!".On another note, Melissa let Kristin, Lisa, and me come with her wedding dress shopping today. So as not to reveal any possible future dresses, here are a few pics we took of the three of us without Bel. :)

And this one is probably my new favorite of Leese. (Don't kill me Leese)

And I know this one is her new favorite of me...

I'm not sure, but I think we had more fun than Meliss.

And of course, save the best for last. Look who finally decided to learn to crawl???
