Happy Mother's Day

Samuel's Crawling and Climbing

Samuel is just about ready to walk. He took his first steps earlier this week, but here he is starting to crawl. He pretty much hated every second of it, until he discovered its advantages, like chasing Liana. Since then he hasn't stopped crawling or climbing everything in sight.

I figured I should start with the crawling since Samuel started crawling back in February. Hopefully, we'll be more on top of the kid's updates now that I have figured out how to post a blog. Paul won't be forced to do it blury eyed after the kid's go to sleep every couple of months. I was shamed into figuring it as I looked at Paul's friends Jason and Diana's blog. They had weekly updates that looked like masterpieces occasionally accompanied by music. I don't know how you guys find the time, but good for you.

Daddy and Samuel bonding.

Daddy took Liana on her first ride. She loved the merry go round.
She still reminds us that he has to hold on tight, so he dosen't fall

off the horse.

Sammy and I hanging out, while he had to watch Liana on

the rides. There are some disadvantages to being the baby.

Liana enjoyed her first cotton candy by the double fisted fulls.

We just laughed as she shoveled it in fearing that we might

take the sugar away from her.

After being cooped up all winter and most of spring we decided to take the kids to a local carnival for some fun on Mother's Day. I must say, just being able to get outside for a little while was a nice Mother's Day gift.
