Tuesday 9/6/11 Sam had his first day of pre-k today! I think this is the closest I’ve ever seen him to being excited. He didn’t say he was, and didn’t smile, but I knew he was excited, as long as the wolf wouldn’t be there (darn mascot! what kind of elementary school has a scary […]
View PostI’m so excited, I’ve read 2 books in the last 2 weeks, “The Help” and “The Hunger Games” thanks to Brian getting me the audio files for my phone. I love to read, but haven’t had much time to read for pleasure in the past 4 years, or haven’t made the time. Now I’m so […]

Sam ends up with vanilla on a cone, with rainbow sprinkles as requested. Max goes to work to devour every bite of his chocolate cone. Sam […]

View Post9/7/11 We picked up Sam from his first ride home on the school bus today, as soon as he get’s off, Max swoops in for a hug “Hi Sam” craving his idol, his big brother to acknowledge him.
View PostWe did the State Fair, Grand Prix, and Strasburg, PA to ride a steam engine this week. Stayed at the best Best Western I’ve ever seen. Had a cool pool. I witnessed 2 couple sentence exchanges between the boys. That was cool. Max likes to help Sam get out of his car seat now. Sam […]
