Sam's.2nd.Birthday.

-
We had a great time celebrating Sam's birthday on Saturday. It started out by Hap and I singing "Happy Birthday" to Sam and the remainder of the day he would say "more happy day", and in fact said it today when I gave him a piece of his birthday cake!! It was a nasty, rainy day but we had a nice party in the afternoon, with both sets of grandparents, family and some friends. Sam really enjoyed opening the presents. He has the hang of it for sure! He received some great gifts, that have seemed to occupy him since Saturday. It was fun to celebrate his life and Hap and I are daily blessed by being his parents. I remember before he was born thinking that I can't imagine what life would be like after having a baby, I even remember those first few weeks after he arrived thinking about how different our lives would be, but now I can't imagine him not being a part of our lives. We thank the Lord for this precious gift.

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
