Oldies but Goodies

We recently took Samantha for her first carousel ride. 

We started on the horse, but that was a little scary.

I had always wondered why they even had bench seats on merry-go-rounds.  Turns out, that's the best place for a screaming child.

Here, we have things under control for the camera.

While I was away in Kansas City recently, Carl downloaded some photos off of his phone onto the computer.  There were some real treasures!

There were a lot of Samantha swinging at the various parks.  She LOVES to swing.  She can now say "swuh."  Which we think means "swing", since it's usually in context.  Today, she had one therapy session and one baby gym play session.  In both cases, she got to play on the swing, and in both cases, she cried when she had to stop.

Sam proved she could use a straw by drinking a full pint of water without breathing.  It was a hot day.

Note, the pic was at Star Pizza, where mom and dad had their first date!  Aww...
