Sending you lots of love from Mommy, Daddy and your little brother Sam.

Sam's first trip to the beach


First trip to the beach!!!


Jeanie teaching me that the water is fun!




This sand feels funny on my feet....


Being on vacation is hard work.

We had a wonderful trip to visit Jeanie and Uncle Phil. A HUGE thank you to them both for having us in their beautiful home. We shared lots of laughs, great meals, yummy fresh squeezed oj (thanks uncle!), and warm sunny days. It was a perfect week!

Just some fun photos


My shy look


Where are we going mom?


I am really starting to enjoy tummy time -- especially naked!


On the way to visit Jeanie and Uncle Phil in Ft. Myers. I was a very good boy on the plane, but I am a baby afterall, so I had a few unhappy moments.

St. Patrick's Day


A bit out of order.....here is Aunt Sarah and Sam O'Connell Smith showing their Irish spirit.



Sam is ready for some green milk.

Easter


My first trip to the playground!


Hey, this is fun! Can I swing higher?


Flying high in the sky....


Don't let me hit my head!


Thanks for the peeps GrandLiz!


First Easter family photo in the backyard


Easter and the playground makes me happy!!!



Happy Easter to all!!! We had a great day, and Sam was all dressed up in his Easter finest. We could not help but take tons of pictures. It was finally sunny (and a bit warm, at least on the sunny side of the street) in NYC, and we took a nice walk along the Hudson. Sam enjoyed a nice long nap in the crisp air.

Catching Up


whipping the egg whites


the cake was just perfect!




When can I have some???


Here are some photos from Emma's angel food birthday cake. Sam was very interested in our plates.....it was very tasty and low-cal too! Thanks to Speed for making the cake from scratch. It reminded me that Ms. Darby's contribution to the Whetstone School Fair silent auction was always an angel food cake -- I always thought that was a bit strange. (I also never really understood what a silent auction was.)

Speed made an angel food cake to celebrate. Sam could only watch this year, but we told him next year he will be able to eat some too! Pictures to come.
