Our first little road trip

J found a shaper on Craig's list in Canyon City, so we all went along and enjoyed the day. We stopped at the park/riverwalk in Salida and took some pictures.

His first real swing ride...thanks Pop!

Hanging in the back seat while Pop gets the shaper.

We were both working in the garage one day so we bundled him up and he sat and watched until we had to use the saw...too loud for little ears

I think he's just the cutest.

I don't know what J is doing here, but it's a good picture of S.

J is giving the cheesy beaver smile, but otherwise it's a good fam shot.

Praise the Lord

We finally heard back from the insurance commissioner and then the insurance company that they will cover my surgery and hospital stay, we're still waiting to hear about Samuel's NICU stay but they don't have any reason to deny it. Thank you Lord! what a relief. It's been awhile since I've updated the blog, so here's some new photos.

Some face shots

He's been smiling so much more lately.

His little hair gets a little crazy after a bath.

Just hanging out on the couch

Sunbathing and snow walking

As much as it's been snowing here (at least 5 feet so far) it's hard to get out with the car, so we get out on foot and he seems to like our walks, except on Sunday when snow was hitting his face :) This suite he wore home from the hospital and his entire body fit the body part of the suite, his legs actually have grown into the legs of the suite now...yeah, he's growing!!

He seemed to like his bear and has been smiling and cooing all the time.

handmade goodies

My folks made some great gifts for Samuel, including this awesome cradle, and the booties he's wearing. My friend, Cortney made the cowboy quilt.

a few pictures

clean, dry and dressed

He couldn't get in the towel quick enough.

He doesn't like getting in the tub or out of it, but once he gets used to it he's fine being wet though the photo reveals more like a deer in the headlights .

beginning...

So I'm trying this blogging thing so ya'll can see pictures of Samuel without having to download and send them out all the time. While I was recovering from my c-section in my bed, there was a Rummikub tourney in the living room, can you tell who's winning?
