3



This little boy turned 3 today.
3.
3!
He's 3. I can't believe it.
Sometimes you'd think he was 15 the way he talks about the speed of sound, orbits, Harrier Jump Jets, or the way he pretends to chew gum when he's up to bat, puts his finger outside his glove, and taps the base before getting ready for the pitch (in the living room).
He loves Family Home Evening, singing primary songs and conducting the music. He always wants to be a part of the conversation, make people happy, and squeeze his baby brother. He has all his books memorized, so there is no cheating on adding your own words to sentences.
He asked for shrimp scampi for his birthday dinner and had to be persuaded to open his presents before endlessly playing with each one.
He is loving. And he is loved.
He's our Sammy.

Football








So there has been this little thing going on called the World Cup. It just ended and I thought I should post some pics Nick took of the football game we went to in England at Stamford Bridge to see Chelsea play. Yeah, home game, 4th row.
It may have been one of my favorite things we did. It was incredible.

We didn't take our fancy cameras because we weren't sure how drunk fans were going to get.

Oh, and Chelsea won.

Piece of pie



Made with fresh picked black raspberries from our forest of a backyard.

I ate it for breakfast a couple of times.
