Happy Birthday Sam!

What a week of celebration we've had...from fun at the Fall Festival, to parties with friends and family, to picnics in the park and a Sunday trip to the Zoo. Sammy is officially 1 yr. old, and is loving it! He seems to know he is a big boy now...his words are coming more and more by the day and I think within the week he'll be running. He loves to play ball, shouting "Get it, get it!" followed by a congratulatory "I GOT IT!" Lately, our favorite things include playing outside, running together on the trail (maybe I should clarify: boys in double jogger with snacks, milk cups and at least one toy each...and mom running on the trail), picnics, roller coasters after dinner, a good, healthy game of "Bottom, Bottom" after bath, and puzzles with Shel Silverstien before bed.
