Samuel turns four!

It is hard to believe that Samuel turned four. It seems like only yesterday when we brought him home from the hospital. He is so full of life and energy. We are so blessed to have him as our son.

Celebrating Samuel birthday with Amber's side of the family

We celebrated Samuel's birthday at my parent's house when we went to see the new baby.



Timothy enjoys playing with my sister's son, Martin. He turned one in February.

New cousin

My brother and his wife just had their first child a few weeks ago. She is beautiful. We are so happy for them. Samuel and Timothy enjoyed seeing the little baby.

Playing in the snow

The boys had fun helping to shovel snow the other day. They loved being out in it. Daddy also helped them go down the sliding board. They went down very fast in their snow pants, but with them, the faster, the better.

Sam's first trip to the Dentist

Last week, Samuel went to the Dentist for the first time. He did a great job. He was a little unsure of what to expect, but they were great with him. I can not believe how fast our little boy is growing up!

Christmas

We had a very busy, but fun Christmas this year. We traveled back and forth to visit family over the last few weeks. It was great to see everyone. During the holidays, Amber's sister-in-law had a baby shower (Tommy and Shauna are due in February) and her brother, Danny, got married. Danny is in the army and leaving for Iraq so it was nice to spend time with him and his new wife before he left. Here are a few pictures from our holidays.
