More DC Pics

Lisa and I may have similar posts here, since we're working from the same picture base, but here are my favorites...

We went to the zoo, which was great! Sam and Sophie loved seeing the animals (especially the elephant for Sam), and Sam loved pushing his own and Sophie's strollers all over the place. Lisa and I got a good workout hiking up to the panda exhibit from where we parked...






We had a cousin BBQ / Conference fun at Oliver and Kristin's on Saturday. Oliver posted almost ALL the pics we took, so I'll let you see the rest of them there... Sam fell asleep while we were there (which was a GOOD thing... he was so tired!). Nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby.




Sophie is a determined little gal. And this time she was determined to make a MESS eating. As you can see, her determination stretched to Lisa as well. :)




Cousins Sam and Sophie


This pic is so funny. Sam looks like he's scowling, "Leave me alone! I'm cuddling with my Aunt Weese!"


Sam at the playground by the Jenkins' place. It was so fun to see you guys, Robb, Heather and little Claire! I'm mad I didn't take more pics there!


The rest are of Sam and Sophie - and one fam pic of the LaPierres. Thanks for everything! Come see us sometime soon...

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...

Sophie eating the grass...

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...
