Christmas in February

Wow! Time gets away from you. We had a great holiday season. Sam loved all the preparations and all the presents. Enjoy the pictures and Happy Valentine's Day.

The Continuing Adventures of Fred the Roarbot

Last week, El bought Sam some new jammies. One pair were robot-print with dials and tubes and switches. We now wear these almost every night. Additionally, Sam prefers to be called Fred these days. Fair enough.

I've posted up a couple of pictures from the last few months. The first is Sam on our recent flight to Las Vegas, the second is Sam playing in the huge sheets of bubble-wrap that our new gym equipment was packed in.

All in all, things are good. "La segunda" is due in about 10 weeks. We are lucky.

Sam's Big Swing

Last weekend we had a great, warm family day at Sinks Canyon. Sam enjoyed the BIG SWING on a rope anchored 80 feet overhead.

Dada and Sam

We were at a friend's wedding in Teton Valley a month ago and the best photographer in the world, Mei Ratz, took some beautiful pictures of Steve and Sam.
