Sam's new best friend

Yet again, we have neglected our blog for a couple of weeks. The first 3 photos were taken at BJ's parents cabin over the past few weeks. As a result of the monsoon storms, mushrooms 9" in diameter were growing in the from yard.

Sam is continually growing and sat in a high chair for the 1st time last weekend. He is getting more and more interested in our food, and insists on sitting with us at dinner time.

He has found a new best friend this past week. His friend shows up in mirrors. He will play and talk with this adorable baby for a long time. This gives Mom and Dad a little break because we are his second best friends and he makes us interact with him during every waking moment. Not that we mind this too much. It just makes it impossible to do anything unless Sam is asleep. (Sam has been helping me with my spacing in this paragraph. I think I fixed all of the really big spaces.)

Sam's first flight

For all of you die hards who check often sorry we haven't posted in a while. We have been on vacation. We took Sam on a plane for the very first time. We included a picture from actually inside the plane. He did very well. We made it to three family reunions over the course of the week and many other family gatherings. We were very fortunate to stay with Grandpa and Grandma Clark in their nice home. I think the coolest part of the trip was being able to see Sam interact with other kids. Anytime there were little boy cousins around he got very happy and wanted to go run around with them and became a little chatter box. To his dismay, he is not yet able to walk and run or speak English. We are working on those still and I'm sure he will be a pro here before too long. The last picture is Sam and I in the SLC airport. As you can see, vacation wore him out pretty good. He was excited to get back to his crib and familiar surroundings.



Sure was fun to see so many friends and family!
