Motorcycle!

The only one he will ever have as long as I am alive!

Hat

After our trip to MN Sam has been obsessed with his baseball hat and will only wear it backwards.  All my recent photos are evident of this recent obsession. I  just want to know one thing when did my baby grow up to a little boy?!?

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

I love you!

Our new favorite park

Dear Sam,
Today, we went to the park with Papa and Amma and had a delightful time!  Papa was only able to stay for a little while as he had to go to work but in that short time you both had a great time.  I have never seen your Papa so happy at a park!

You were showing Amma how you could climb up the stairs and go down the slide but she was so nervous I did not get any photos of the two of you together, next time!

You love to swing! 

Playing in the huge sandbox!

A great day had by all!
I love you Sam,
Mommy

Simple Joys!

Having an active little toddler who loves to explore has taught me to enjoy the simple joys of life.  These are just a few because there are so many!


* Pulling a wagon with Sam and his friend, Jack, and listening to the boys talking to each other. 
* Going on walks to the park and looking for cotton, worms, acorns, ants or lawnmowers.
* Playdates with Mom friends and coffee.
* Watching Sam climb the stairs and go down the slides at the park
* Looking for tractors and  choo-choos
* Watching Toy Story for the million time and listening to Sam laugh at the same exact parts every time.
* Early morning walks before the neighbors wakes up.
*Playdate with Jen and Oliver, who I miss daily!  We will see you in October!
* Watching James read to Sam.
* Watching Sam jump!
* Watching the garbage truck coming on Thursdays. 
* Seeing grandparents doing what they do best...spoiling Sam.
* Listening to Sam's conversations while he is playing 

There are no words...
