Aaron standing...

In recent days, Aaron has started to get close to doing more than standing.

Easter 2009

Happy Easter!

Xmas 2008

Instead of posting each picture individually, I've opted for a simpler solution. These pics are from the past couple weeks.

Upcoming Events

 The Room is ready.

The baby should be done by now.  Plus Samuel is super excited.

Hometown Days Pics

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Hometown days.



Hannah and Samuel enjoy the sounds coming from the Swartz Creek Idol contest.


Samuel makes a new friend.


The last picture we have of Samuel before he was eaten alive.

Numbers

Samuel almost knows his numbers. Almost.

Go Auburn!

Not that we really know much about sports. But we'll always cheer for Auburn. Unless they're playing Hope. Or the Red Wings. Go red men on skates!

Letters

Working on some of his letters. He did get the 'M', just after the 30sec timer was up.

Reading

Some time to read with mama.

Christmas

Merry Christmas - here are some pictures.


Sitting in his Christmas (Eve) Church clothes.


Opening a gift with Mama and Grandma.

After opening a gift from Grandma and Grandpa, he enjoyed playing on the box with Grandpa.

Another Hope sweatshirt

But can you have too many?

Samuel and Mommy

Samuel has taken to smiling after he sees the flash of a camera. So if you use the red eye reduction mode and take it just right, you can catch the squint.

Costume/Uniform

Hannah made Samuel some scrubs out of an old pair of mine. He wore them to the residency halloween party.

St. Louis Trip 2 of 5 - Zoo, Sem

We went to the St. Louis Zoo, a great, free zoo in Forest Park in St. Louis. It was actually kind of chilly so he's wearing his jacket.

The penguins didn't mind the chill. Nasty things. Don't believe the movies. They go for distance when they poop.

Tuesday we went to Concordia Seminary to visit some old friends and co-workers. This is Hannah and Samuel under Luther Statue.

Speaking of previous co-workers. This is Karen. Samuel was happy to meet her.

Blueberry picking

We went blueberry picking yesterday. Samuel enjoyed it thoroughly, though he didn't help very much. We got 8.75 pounds for $12.25. Kroger has blueberries for about a buck a piece (and thats the in-season price).

The Adventures of Samuel

Grandma Irene got a new puter this week that comes with a great program called Comic Life.

Opus 1

Con drooloso. For the piano. With Mommy accompaniment.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to mine and Samuel's favorite new mother!
