Star of Babies

Just one more picture to add to the blog. Last Friday we had reunion with the other families who were in our Bradley class so that everyone could meet each others babies.

Sam and his Parents

Here are a couple of up to date photos of Sam and his parents.

Here Sam and I are at the local park in Charlestown, where he and Kate came to meet me for lunch one day last week.

The second picture is from yesterday, when we had Sam dressed in his most adult cloths yet (not that he really cared).

I took him to the Utica Preservation Society meeting last night so he could meet the other members and they cooed over him (I am the youngest member of the group by several decades so you can imagine the response Sam got).

Spring in Indiana

Last Sunday on my ride, I came across this old plow on the side of a field. As some of you know, when I was a little kid I was obssesed with John Deere stuff (kind of like I am obssessed with bike stuff now), and couldn't pass up this shot. The fields are really starting to turn gree around here, what with the first shoots of grass and spring wheat coming up. Heck, yesterday on my way home from work, I saw a couple of calves chasing each other around a field.

Sam & some riding pictures

First, here is Sam wearing one of my caps. He still has a little growing to do to be able to fit into it.

Last Sunday I got out for a longer ride. I actually did a ride that I have tried to do several times before, but have never completed it because I always ran into some sort of bad luck.

I rode from home out to Charlestown State Park and then down to the river in the park.

No real pictures of riding, but there was this really cool sun and cloud formation that I saw on my way back through the park.

Sam Fashion Show

(That was Kate's title)

Sam doing his Mr. Happy impersonation.

Followed by his Soprano's impersation.

And finally dressed up for a walk this morning.

Sam is doing really well, gaining weight and growing. He is starting to hold his head up on on his own, has started to smile, and is sleeping longer at night (now if only his Dad could do that too).

Sam shows his stuff

Kate here - this is a video I shot while Sam was finishing up his "business" on the changing table. He showcases all his great talents: coughing, sneezing, yawning, crying, playing with his tongue, and his newest trick: smiling!

Dog on Bike

This was posted to one of the bike listservs I am on. And of course it comes from the land of the rising sun.
