Thanksgiving

What an adventure this Thanksgiving has been! We have had so much fun with Kimball and Shelley visiting with us! We spent three days at Disney World, and then went to the Florida vs Florida State game on Saturday. Sam wasn't able to nap much at all, but he did really well all week! He takes the cake on being super busy and active, but for as busy as he is, he is also very happy and loving. He was hugging every little kid he could find at Disney! (Whether they wanted one or not, they got a Sam hug!) Disney was a lot of fun. Aaron really likes to do as much that is humanly possible at theme parks, so we were there until 9pm at night every night! Luckily, on Thanksgiving, we were able to find a Cracker Barrel that was still open, so we were able to still have a Thanksgiving dinner!

The game on Saturday was A LOT of fun! A lot of people laugh when they see us wearing Florida gear when we come visit, but here, you get laughed at if you are not wearing orange and blue! Floridians are crazy about their Gator Football! During the game, the jumbotron screen showed Sam 4 TIMES! After the game, we were walking out and people that were in a section above us were yelling at us to get our attention, and asked if they could take a picture of our little guy, since he was practically famous! Then, more and more people would walk by us and say, "Hey! Its the boy that was always on the jumbtron! We saw you!" We thought it was so strange that all of those people remembered Sam! After we had left the game, I thought that no one else would recognize him, but I was wrong! Later that night we went to the store, and a lady in the produce section said that she saw him at the game on the jumbotron! I think its time I get this boy an agent! :)

At football games, usually someone in the crowd will bring a beach ball and toss it around the stadium. As soon as Sam saw it bouncing around the crowd, he got so excited and said "ball!" over and over, so we knew it wouldn't be long until he got the ball :) Here is Aaron, Sam and his game ball, and Shelley and Bethany

We had a great Thanksgiving, and are so glad that Kimball and Shelley came to visit!

Puddles and Rain Boots

Sam LOVES playing in puddles. We took him for a walk this afternoon, and he had a blast splashing around in his dinosaur rain boots.



We had a busy weekend! Aaron took Sam to his first Florida basketball game on Friday night, and Sam had so much fun! He danced and clapped and said "ball" all night! On Saturday, we all went to the Florida football game. Sam did really well, clapping along with everyone else. Of course, Florida creamed the competition. Sam is learning new things all the time. I've been teaching him to say nose, and when I ask him where his nose is, he takes both index fingers and sticks them up his nose, and proudly says, 'nose!' It was pretty funny, until he started showing ME where MY nose was :) In other news, Aaron is doing really well in his rotations. He is given an exam after every rotation, and he scored really high on his test on Friday. We are so proud of him and how well he is doing in school! With the upcoming holidays, we are so looking forward to seeing all of our family!
