Emma liked to pet Sam's hair.

Cousin Meg and Sam

Aunt Sue...aka the Mentor...and Emma Kate

Sam jumps and flails his arms while squealing in his saucer.

Waking up in the morning to see each other

We tried and tried for a good picture of both...this one is pretty sweet.

Abby spoiled me with great food. This is the stromboli she made for lunch on Saturday. YUM!

We were able to go visit Sam, Aunt Abby and Uncle Andrew last weekend. We secluded ourselves for the week prior to the visit so that we would be healthy and able to see them. It was wonderful to spend time with Sam. He is the most joyful baby I have ever seen. He loves to jump and squeal and smiles all day long. Uncle Andrew, Uncle Ben and Mike went to the Rooke's cabin in central PA for a guys weekend while Aunt Abby and I stayed with the little ones at the house. Sam's grandparents, Pampee and Grandma Susie, came to visit as well as Aunt Sue and Cousin Meg. It was a very busy visit and Abby and I were exhaused after all of the business of visitors and the typical demands of a day with two five month olds.

It was so fun to get to spend time with Sam and get to know him a little bit. I am so much in love with him and it was so very hard to leave him. We sure do wish we lived closer. Emma loved Sam. As you will see in the pictures, she found his hair and liked to pet him. They did not get to be close to each other except for pictures to limit the germ chances. We got on the webcam with Sam the other day and Emma just squealed and tried grabbing at the screen for Sam's face...it was precious. I posted a few pictures but have also included a link to the entire album of pictures we took...we took about 150 pictures while trying to get both kids to cooperate and some of them are super cute. Enjoy!
