Sam's Saturday Soup

When we last left you, you could see that Sam was in major need of a haircut. I hesitated because all of the experiences with cutting Sam's hair have been unpleasant to say the least. Luckily our friend Kristan did a great job and with a little help of M&M's and fast cutting skills we successfully trimmed Sam's hair. He looks so handsome - thanks Kristan you are the best.



Sam's lastest exciting news came as a result of Craigslist. We found a John Deere Pedal tractor for a great price and couldn't turn it down. We picked it up today and Sam has had a blast dump rocks from our landscaping onto the drive way and "checking out the farm" as he puts it.


We also hit Raccoon River this week and enjoyed the sandy beach and the spray park. Really if you haven't been there you have to go, minus the really nasty looking water which is questionably warm the kids had a ball digging in the sand and running back and forth in the water. Not to mention that they can spray off just before you leave so you don't have to bring the beach with you.Finally - we are 2 weeks and counting down Baby Jack's arrival. As of my doctor's appointment on Friday there is not anything signficant or hopeful to think it will be earlier, so we've dusted off the running shoes and started walking every chance we get. Here's a picture (courtesy of Jennilyn) of a GREAT profile shot. Wow my belly is out there!!!
