Sleepy hair

I thought my hair was bad when I wake up. Sam's is just hilarious but usually it calms down a bit. I tried to get his hair back down but this was the product. He's so happy and cute when he wakes up.

You'd think we never fed this kid...

Sam is so funny cause he puts everything in his mouth especially anything that is some form of technology. The first picture is of him trying to eat the camera and the second is a typical shot of him if I had a camera all the time. He's always got something in his mouth and loves to crawl around that way.

Sam also likes to perform tricks at the table. He's decided it's funny play with the spoon and I think he's becoming quite the little clown. He also likes to do this funny little thing with his hands or arms and we got him to do it on this video too!

He's standing!

This was at the end of march. Sam started standing on his own for long enough that we got a little video of it. He has amazing balance for a kid his age and should be walking before too long.

Our little turtle

Sam loves baskets and loves to take a ride in them whether it be with the laundry or anything else he might find.
The other day we discovered he likes to take the basket for a ride also. So here is our little turtle! He's still smiling under there if you look close enough.

Easter weekend

This is our little egg dying party! Arnold's good friend Dirk and his girlfriend Caroline came to visit and decided to stay long enough to help. Jon and Lisa were there too and somehow Arnold escaped the picture...hmmm...

This is my favorite egg that I did so I had to take a picture of it. It also took the longest to do and was easier to do than you might think. Jon and Lisa the beautiful did one that looked better, but it broke. Oops!

We all got a Lindt chocolate easter bunny after dinner on sunday and they had these cute little red bows with bells on them. Arnold likes putting things on Sam's ears probably cause it bothers me and he thinks it's funny so this is what happened to poor Sam. Apparently he doesn't mind right now but he might later and then he'll say something like... "Dad, I can't believe you did that too me and Mom, WHY did you have to post it on the internet?" I'm not sure which is worse. ;)

This last picture is of the beautiful easter flowers that Dirk and Caroline brought us. When we got them Saturday evening they were only an inch or two high and Monday evening they looked like this. It's got even more flowers now and is just absolutely gorgeous! We have definitely enjoyed them and I'm glad I haven't killed them yet.

Giggles and fun!

Sam was so funny the other day. He discovered that he could blow bubbles on the edge of the glass table and he thought it was pretty funny. He just stood there and blew bubbles and giggled for probably a good 15 min. We finally stopped laughing enough to get the camera. Here is a short glimps of him.

What I love about Europe...

There are some things in life that just make you smile and this is one of them. It's amazing that in the U.S. you can drive 15 minutes and find a Walmart just about anywhere you are. However, I can now drive 15 minutes and find things like this. I love the way there is open fields surrounding the towns, and you can find castles and old history just about anywhere you go. The two bottom pictures were taken as we were driving to the castle. It's a little hard to see but the bottom picture has a castle on top of the hill.
