More pictures from Samuel's Birthday Party

Grandma and Sammy blowing out the birthday candles. To this day whenever he sees a candle he says "happy" and tries to blow it out.

Sam and one of the bikes he got. He rides around the house everywhere! He is working on getting a handle of the peddles. He had lots of fun chasing "Eewe" (Livvy) around the house on the bikes.






Sam loves to play in his new toy box. Maybe someday he will let us put toys in there.

It's a Boy! (Most Likely)

We had another ultrasound in Albany this week and the tech was pretty sure that we are having another boy! Of course this means that we need to come up with some names since we had a girls name picked out, but no boys names. So, if oyu have any suggestions. We want to do a Biblical first name and family middle name like we have done with the other two.

The other thing that they could see on the ultrasound was that the baby has a skull! Which is VERY important since that is what Josiah was missing. We are very excited! And relieved!

Samuel's 2nd Birthday!

Here are the pictures I promised from's Sam's birthday party! He has so many toys he doesn't know where to start! Of course the clothes were not really a big hit with Sam, but Mommy and Daddy were very glad that he won't have to run around naked any time soon! :-) He is growing like a weed. At his 2 yr. visit he weighed 29.5 lbs and was 36 inches tall. I think he grows more every day!

Snowy Day

Here are some pictures from the last big snow storm we had a few weeks ago. It was the first time Sam had really been able, and wanted to, play in the snow. He and Daddy made a snowman. Well, Daddy made the snowman and Sam tried to make snow balls out of him!

Who Needs Toys?!

Who needs toys when you have a mop bucket and a TV tray holder? Sam LOVES to push anything and everything around the house. The mop bucket is a favorite because he can put his blankets and binky (or "dat" as Sam calls it) in there.

More News

Well, as many of you know Samuel is 2 years old now! I promise I will get pictures of his party on here soon, really.

I also have news on my job front. I am the new librarian at Otego elementary school! It's still pending board approval, but that should happen in about 2 weeks. Otego is only about 10 miles away from home and I love it! There are 238 students here so it is a nice small school with a VERY supportive principal! It's interesting to start in the middle of the year, but I think I am getting the hang of it.
