Mommies and Babies

This just proves to us that Samuel is one of the smartest boys ever. We found this puzzle a few days ago and the teacher in me couldn't resist something educational. Anyway, we got it home and sat at the table for what I figured would be Samuel's first little mini lesson...I was wrong. He looked at the pictures and started matching all the animals up! I was amazed.

He can now do the whole puzzle without any problems and is constantly asking to do it again. I guess I will keep my eyes open for some more like it. Before I know it we will be working on multiplication!

Time for the Updates

Yes, I am fully aware that it has been over a month since my last post. I do realize that it is time for an update on what life has been over the past month, so here goes...

I think I am going to do this in segments of the big events that took place and try to date them appropriately. That will also make it look like I haven't ignored the blog since February!

Here goes...

Last Weeked

We had a really good weekend. Saturday, daddy was in class all day so Samuel and I hung out here in the morning and then headed down to the Seattle Center in the afternoon. We met up with Roxy and her clan and headed into the Pacific Science Center. Mike and I went there when we first visited with Phillip, but haven't been back since. They have a lot of cool things and a great play area for kids. Samuel and Roxy loved it.

This was a room full of instruments. Samuel loved banging around. I think we will have to take Daddy back here.

Samuel and Roxy loved the water/bubble table. They played for quite awhile and Trish and I were beginning to plan a table to each of our living rooms!

Samuel and Roxy both thought it was great fun to hang from the Muscle Endurance exhibit. I think they both hung longer than I could have.

This was by far Samuel's favorite. He loved catching the balls then watching them fly up into the air. I was also pretty fascinated!

On Sunday, we decided to spend a family day at home. Mike was able to finish painting Samuel's room. I will send a picture when I get a chance. We also planted flowers in our flower box than Jon last July in memory of Hannah.
Here are daddy and Samuel planting the flowers!

Samuel helped by giving daddy the next one!

Samuel thought the best part was watering. I don't think we will have to worry about them getting to dry since he talks about it at least ten times a day!

Job well done!
