Sweet guys

Warning: Beware of Sam

Sam has gone from a sweet sleepy squeaky baby to...
THE STINKER!
I think these pictures pretty well speak for themselves.

For balance...here's a glimpse of his sweet side!

Hot off the press...

Hot off the press here is a classic word for word
conversation with Evan. I hope you enjoy.

The scene: its after naps, he's had a good one and
he's in a great mood. I hear him talking to himself
in his room. I enter and he's having a conversation
with his "friends" (aka stuffed animals).

Me: "Hi Evan, I missed you!"
Evan: "Is it time to get up?"
Me: "yes"
Evan: (with a very serious face) "do you know any songs
about insects?"
Me: (delighted with my quick response) "yes!" (begin
singing) "I'm bringing home a baby bumble-bee!..."
Evan: "no! That is a song about just one flying insect...not
insectS"
Me: (laughing and realizing that I will only be able to keep up with
him til he's about 5 years old) "hmm, you're right, do you know another
song about insects?"
Evan: (begins improvising) "Flying cicadas go like this...bzz bzz trrr trrr bzzz"
and the song continues...

Who is this boy? He cracks me up!

Happy 3rd Birthday Evan!

How did I ever not know this guy?
Evan, We love you so much. You bring so much life to us!
We are grateful for our passionate little boy.
You are interested in animals, cars, people's houses
what everyone's favorite part of the day is and so much more.
What a joy to see such a tender heart inside of
such an intense little boy. I could not have dreamed you up!
What a wild ride it is to be your parents.
Love always, Mama and Daddy
