Tasting Feast

Here is the Thanksgiving Production at Sam's school. These are all the kids in the entire school (PK 3 - Kindergarten). I know it is a little shaky but I had a baby in one arm and a video camera in the other hand. Sam did an amazing job. I had to cut out the footage of Sam and his buddy next to him spending two songs pointing their moms out. The girl on the left of the screen doesn't seem very happy - tell me if you agree.

Soccer Playing Sammy

This is one of Sam's goals on Saturday. That is right folks - I said one of them. He had somewhere around 5 or 6 goals. He is a SocStar (...you see what I did there...Soccer/Rockstar). We are bad parents who don't bring their video cameras so this is from the Iphone of a friend.

Rachel is 6 Months Old!

Our baby girl is 6 months old and we celebrated by giving her some shots! Well, that isn't all we did but we did take her to the doctor. She is a little busy body - even the doctor said the same thing. The doctor couldn't do anything with her until she let Rachel see/hold what she was checking her with. Rachel weighs in at 17 lbs. 14 oz (90th percentile). She is 27 1/2 inches tall (95th percentile). She is perfect to us and a blessing that we are thankful for every day.

Sam's First Soccer Game

Sam had a blast in his first soccer game. He did great! Not a whole lot of usable footage...lots of shots of adult's behinds...so this is the best of the rest.

They Grow up so Fast!

This is Rachel's first taste of baby food. It is Peas. She did okay at first but it has been a week now and she is a pro. The second clip is her trying to crawl. She wants to be able to go forward but hasn't quite figured out how to make it go. The last clip is Sam making Rachel laugh with his "go to" joke - the "jump and toot". It makes all the girls laugh.

Summer 2011 So Far
