Our First Week with Sammy!


Welcomed home by big sis!


Grammy made a cake for Eli and Chloe to decorate!
I'm sure more eating than decorating was taking place though!!


B-I-G Yawn!!

Auntie Alyssa, Mia and Luke all stopped by to see baby Sammy before heading to the circus!!

Mom, Eve, Alyssa, and Cari all took the big kids to the circus!






Looks like they all had fun!

Valerie stopped by to see baby Sam as she 
anxiously awaited her own little bundle of joy!

Audrey and her girls stopped by too- Natalie holding Sammy

Kelsie's turn!

Eli loves his little brother!! He is always kissing him and tickling him!!

Here Chloe is tickling Sammy's toes!
Look at that sweetness!


Not many pictures of Grammy... She was
probably so busy cooking and cleaning and
helping with the older kids we didn't snap
many of her holding the newest grandbaby!!
I SO love having her here those first few days!!

Sammy is about the best baby I could ask for!!
He is so content all the time!

I could look at him all day!
I thought this was so funny!! They came out wearing hats and waving their nets, telling us they were butterfly hunters!!



There they go!

Chubby cheeks!

Snug in his jammies!

Auntie Brynna flew down for a few days too!

Sweet sleeping baby!

All this sleeping is hard work!

Chloe thought it was SO funny to make Sammy pick his nose!
