"Babies have tiny brains so they can see fairies."

I *think* this had something to do with an episode of The Fairly Odd Parents, but I'm going to just assume it's one of those super darling things that randomly came into his head.

Broccoli

At Bob Evans the other night (where we received shockingly uncharacteristic good service), Sam voluntarily ate toooons of broccoli. Here is proof:

Fourth of July

We went to the town center to see fire works on the Fourth of July. It was very very crowded and we eventually ended up on the top level of a parking garage which luckily gave us a perfect view (except for one street lamp). Sam had a great time and screamed things like "Incoming!" and "It's coming right for us!" and "Fire! Fire!" Afterward he said it was all scary and too loud, but I think he enjoyed himself. Oh, and before that we had gone to McDonald's where he got 3D glasses in his Shark Boy and Lava Girl Happy Meal.

Lots more birthday party pictures

And here are the rest of the pictures from Sam's 5th birthday party, back in February.

Mega Long Overdue Updates

Here are some random pictures of Sam that have been sitting on my computer for way too long.


Sam likes to hang out in baskets, boxes and other small places. I don't like to put away laundry.


With Dylan and Chuck E. Cheese, September.
Close up in the car, February.
Thrilled that cable was installed at the new house, April.


Happy to be wearing shorty pajamas.
Jumping for joy in shorty pajamas.
Can you find the boy in this picture?


Flying to Pop's in Maine (first airplane ride that Sam is old enough to remember).
At Fort Poppem with Randy and Pops, or as Sam called it, Harry Potter's Castle.
Sam waddled into the room, bound to his little chair and blindfolded, saying "I've been captured. I'm a prisoner."


Playing with Randy.
We got a puppy.
