Sophie's Angst

I'm sure Lisa will post about this... but these pics are too priceless.

Cherry Blossoms

On Monday, Mary and Nikolai, Lisa and Sophie, and Matt, Sam, and I all headed downtown to see the cherry blossoms. It was a GORGEOUS day - 70 degrees, sunny, and perfect. The cherry blossoms were supposed to peak on Tuesday, so they were beautiful and cottony white everywhere. We even saw Yoko Ono doing some interview while we were walking around. Here are some pics from the fun outing.

Sam wanted to push the stroller onto the busy street...

Sweet Sam

Spring in DC

We just got back from a FAB trip to DC visiting Lisa, Bryce, and Sophie. I have a ton of pics to sort through, but here's one for now. It's of us at the cherry blossoms downtown. More to come!

Kleenex Box Adventures

See for yourself...

Count Snuggleopogus

Yes. Sam loves to snuggle with what we call his "snuggle things". This consists of his blue blanket, little square blanket, doggie, bear, and whatever else is nubby and soft.

This morning he was walking around with his square blanket in his mouth and his blue blanket draped over his shoulders. Hence the name... Count Snuggleopogus.

Welcome... Spring?!?!?

Here are some pics from the weekend. We got a foot of snow and it's taking its sweet time to melt. I'm more than a little antsy for spring!

Sam loved the sound of the snow crunching under his feet - he would walk a few steps, then laugh, then walk a bit more, then laugh. He loved playing in it too. He was quite soaking wet and cold when we came back inside!

Bedhead and more

Sam has a knack for getting awesome bedhead. Here's his hair yesterday morning... after 4 hours of being awake. Just imagine what it was like when he first woke up!



Sam stole the camera lens cap and decided it was time to put the cap on the lens and go play.



I just love this shot. "Mom - PLEASE not another picture!"

Park Pics

This is a loaded picture post, but since we all know that pics in a post is what makes it... especially to grandparents... here ya go.

We went to the park with Kenslee and then again the next day with Kenslee and Millie. It was so much fun! It was 70 degrees yesterday... and supposed to snow tomorrow. How's that for New England weather?

Most of these pics are of the kiddos on the swings, although I threw in a couple others of Sam's new outside shoes, Sam and Kenslee (with the look Sam almost always gives me when I pull out the camera), etc. Enjoy!

Ready for Church...

This and That

Here are a few pics from our recent adventures. There's no continuous theme here... just this and that.

Sam likes to "help" me pop out my fake tooth (which will be done away with shortly!).




Sam LOVES playing with friends - especially Kay Lynn and Kenslee. Here's a cute pic of Kenslee when she was over the other day. Sam thought it was so funny that they were eating lunch together - and then Kenslee started playing peek-a-boo with Sam. Wish I had taken pics of that!


Sam thinks it's funny to shake his sippy cup upside down until he gets a few drops of milk on his tray. It's a maddening thing, but I let him do it this time for the picture before his sippy cup went in a time out. :)

It's tricky taking pics of Sam these days. He REALLY wants the camera and the moment you start shooting, he makes a beeline for you. Here he is after my first pic the other day. In the process of standing up so he can attack me.
