Merry Christmas!

Posting to this blog, it seems, gets harder even as technology makes
it easier to do so. At any rate....

Samuel got this great train table from Grandma Carolyn and Papa.
Hannah and I are just broken up that it will be staying at their house.

Singing in church

Here it is again.

Oops

Sorry - I linked to the video before it was done being processed-and something went wrong in the processing.  I'll reupload it tonight.

Xmas music

A little Christmas music for your day.

Decorating the tree

No tidings for you.

Thanksgiving helicopter.MOV

Time with Al's helicopter over thanksgiving.

Congrats

Good job Uncle Chad!

Jokes

The only jokes he knows. So far.

Out

On a walk.

Random pics

That's a rug burn on his nose, ok?

Halloween

Here is our Wall-E and Generic Superhero.





And a video of Samuel running around as Wall-E.

And I suppose I'd post some more videos if it wasn't such a painful process on blogger.

Sunglasses

Oh yea.

Grandma Irene's

...for the weekend. Bathtime. Playing with the greatly expanded
trainset.

Fall and starfall

Aaron outside and Samuel doing "school" at starfall.com.

Rain and banana

In blue.

Stroll

Out for a walk.

Dirty hands

Let me touch that.

Shot

Samuel looks for his doctor bag so that he can give me an "eye shot".
Gosh, hope he finds it.

Swinging

After a long walk.

Phone calls

If you've ever spoken to Samuel or Aaron on the phone this is what
they look like. Samuel usual talks about his surroundings, gesturing
at and refering to things you can't see. Aaron thinks the whole
experience is too hilarious for words.

Mall

Playing at the mall this morning.

Nature

A dandelion.

Set done

Just needs some finish work.

Set 2

Swings installed, slide forthcoming.

Samuel, obviously thrilled. Interestingly enough, Aaron (off camera),
whose present this really is, is currently enjoying playing with the
instructions and plastic bags that held the hardware.

Set in process

Swing set that is.

Broge's

We are visiting the Broges near Cleveland this weekend. Always great
to see them.

Score

That's right Aaron, another score from priceline...

Last day in SD

After church we went and had a pancake breakfast and that afternoon
stopped by Deadwood and Spearfish.

Sleeping in the car

Will have to wait for the pictures from Biras and Lakies to see them
by Mt. Rushmore.

Big chair

In Keystone, SD.

Animals

Visited an animal park outside of Mt Rushmore this morning.

Hike

The result of the hike today. Samuel was not having any posing.

Storytime Island

Spent some of the morning at this place in Rapid City. A fun time had
by all.
