Dear Grandma,
I love my airplane outfit! It is special since Daddy likes airplanes so much. Mommy has dressed me in it several times already but today I insisted she take my picture so you could see how cute I am! Thank you for making me such a hip little guy!
Love,
Sam

We have been getting presents in the mail daily welcoming Sam to the world. So many lovely gifts from friends and family….too many to share all of them here. But as I am able to capture Sam in some of his outfits and such I will try to post them for everyone to see!

This GORGEOUS necklace came a few weeks ago and I am just now getting a proper thank you out to my dear friend Ann of Swede-at-Heart. I have worn it nearly every day and received so many compliments! To get one of your own…click HERE!

I have been working on some one month portraits of Sam…hoping to post those tomorrow…can he REALLY be one month old?!?!? Sob!

We just got home from our first road trip since having Sam and we are all pretty exhausted. My sister (The Writer) has the perfect party house…a huge 3 story Craftsman mansion with pink trim and enough rooms that the little girls are lost for hours! We ate, lit some fireworks, talked, cuddled the baby, and ate some more. I didn’t get nearly as many photos as I would have liked. Sam (aka Mr. Grumpy Pants as J has now named him) had a fussy day Friday and wanted to be held. And since my role in my family is usually “photojournalist”…there aren’t a whole lot of photos to share. But we did manage to take a few

Here is Sam with his “Great Gaga”. She was thrilled to meet him and I just love this picture of them together!

My sweet lil firecracker

The three littlest girls…they are completely inseparable!

A and J taking a break from the fireworks to pose for me!

Sam sacked out (finally!) with Daddy! I was so proud of myself that I even had a little Fourth of July outfit for him. I waited to put it on him until the festivities began…then he promptly peed all over it…I guess I’m still learning about having a little boy!

Mommy time!

I had to include this shot too…that wrinkled brow! Now I know what he will look like as an 80 year old man

Hope you all had a wonderful, family-filled, Fourth of July! We are all off to take a good long nap!
