over again.

Some serious cuteness for your day.

Thanks Aunt Bethany for the stellar pic.

Good afternoon

I'd like to take these moments to talk to you about peanut butter....

They both just about slept through security(until we had to remove
shoes and scan the stroller).

Wood!

Forget the dog. Wood!

Drummin'

With Uncle Chad.

Swimming

Taking an elevator to get to the pool. Does life get any better?

Together again

After the baptism recognition for the Broge girls, we had an
opportunity to reunite with our St. Louis small group over lunch.

Holding babies

This afternoon there was some massive baby holding going on. Here is
Samuel holding Parker.

St. Louis trip day 2

After a good nights sleep, Samuel was feeling much better. This
morning we went for a playdate at the King's. Simon enjoyed his time
holding Aaron.

Naptime 2

This was durng the nap today. Note the pillow acting as a blanket.

Naptime

Snoozin' in the hotel. Samuel is taking a nap believe it or not. Papa
called and got Drury Inn to give us a free upgrade to a suite, so he's
in a separate room, which is awesome. Tonight: dinner with Aunt
Bethany(Bunnie) and Uncle Chad, and some swimming.

At the Broge's

Visiting with Parker and Emma Jane(pictured).

Just in

Arrived at St. Louis this morning. On the way to pick up the car.
Samuel did good on the plane. Watched 'cars' and out the window during
takeoff/landing. Was more excited to ride on the "big big
bus" (parking shuttle van) this morning.

Legos

Playing with legos after tipping the box over.

TV

Nobody interrupts SuperWhy.

Storytime

Reading books.

Smilin'

Happy to see his Mama.

Yes Samuel

This is where disease comes from.

Forward motion

Aaron continues to work on crawling. Despite the picture, he is making progress.

iPod

Just listening to Grandpa's sweet music.

Narcissist

Puppy: I love you
Samuel: I love me too.

Breakthrough

Tonight: at least an hour of alone play with the infamous "blue car."
Samuel has been afraid of this toy for the past 8 months.
