This photo (below) was taken with the SLR by Rach. Sam is such a cutie. I’ve said this before but i’ll say it again: i love weekends…cuz I get to hang out with this kiddo. During the week he’s asleep by the time I get home from work. What a bundle of joy he is. Love him so much.
We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. Here’s my little family.
Taken with the iPhone.
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, “Citizenship in a Republic,” Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
We got a new thing for Sam over the weekend. It’s a little jumper thingie that’ll help him start using his little leg muscles. This morning was his first time using it. He was happy and smiling the entire time…doing little hops. Early indication is that he likes it. Hurray. Though for some reason he was only using his right leg. I wonder if that means he’s right handed. Only time will tell. It was funny seeing him hop around on just one foot.
Went out and had some pizza tonight w/ the wife and kiddo. See pic below. The thing I like most about weekends is that I get to hang out with the kid. During the week, he’s usually asleep when I get home from work. So I only get to see him in the morning for a few minutes. Weekends are the best. We get to play with his toys, watch football, be dudes, and hang out with Rachel and Pixi. It’s so fun to see him grow up. I love him. Going in while he’s asleep and just staring at him will never get old. I like to imagine what he’s dreaming about. Dragons, princesses and castles. Probably not but it’s fun to imagine. :)
Went to the Fleet Week Air Show over the weekend. We hung out down by the Marina. Good times. The loud noises were scary for little Sam. We created make-shift ear plugs for him. It was fun.
Watching some college football today. Sam just kickin’ it in his Man Chair.
