Sam's 2nd Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween! Sam was the cutes Karl Pavano I have ever seen!!!

We started the day with a great breakfast compliments of Chef Pat/Dad. Then we headed to Grandpa Dude's for another fabulous breakfast-for-lunch meal. We got to meet Everott and saw Tristin for a little bit too before he napped. After a VERY short nap after we got home, Sam, Pat and I went around the neighborhood to say hi to all our friends!

I am so lucky to have such a beautiful, happy little boy. Life is so good!

First Pumpkin Carving Party

Photos to come....

Our First ER Experience...I hope it is our last!


Last night Sammy took yet another fall and hit his head. He had this horrible little egg on his forehead, but shook it off pretty well and seemed perfectly fine! I was upset at seeing my little peanut hurt- that is just the worst!
After we put him to bed, we went in shortly after to check on him and he got sick in his crib, the poor sweetheart. We were not sure what to think about this because I was sick that weekend and Sam sometimes gets sick after drinking milk so we were thinking that it could be one of these things - head injury, flu or just a little acid reflux.

Not wanting to take any chances, we took him to the ER. Oh, what an experience. We had about a 5 hour wait in a lobby that had been flooded upon our arrival. Ick.
Sam was such a good boy, but after a couple hours got a little restless. Thankfully, we were put in a room shortly after that. The aquarium station on the TV was pretty cool to watch for a while - we loved seeing all the different colored fish swimming by.

Finally, the doc came in! The doc checked him out and said that he said he was fine. We were relieved! Though we did feel that he was okay, we were so glad that we took him in anyway so we could sleep better that night. (Sam did sleep with us that night....just to make sure :) )

Hugs and Kisses

Sam is getting to be the BEST hugger and kisser! He will just put his arms around you and lay his head on your shoulder for the best hug in the world! And the kisses are just open mouth advances that still rock!

Plus, he is getting great at walking, drinking out of a cup (but does not stay dry) and LOVES to play with hair. He twirls mine which is SO cute (until it gets stuck and he pulls it), but I will still take it!

Photos soon....

Luverne - Oh, how we love Luverne!

We had a great weekend in Luverne...as always! Sam loved being able to walk outside uncle Pete's house in the leaves and maybe even trying to eat a couple :)
Grandma Connie encouraged Sammy to make lots of "music" with Pete's pots and pans. Seriously, who needs toys?Here is Sam with his almost 95-year-old aunt Margaret at Renfro Variety! He had a fabulous time going through all the items there. And a FIRST happened at Renfro - Sam walked backwards! So funny!!!
At Sharkee's, Papa Tim, Pat, Sammy and I had a great meal. Sam LOVED the french fries that Papa Tim gave to him. LOVED.

Still loving the fries!
Here is Sammy sleeping with Papa after a bottle. Tim and Connie are the absolute best and love putting Sam to bed. Here Tim go an extra treat when Sammy slept with him for a while. That is heaven on Earth!




A great father and son shot in front of Sharkees! Go Twins!
And a mother and son shot there too - Go Wild!

And finally, photos of our very messy ride home!
