Early Sunday morning there was a knock at our door. Having arrived home very late the night before due to the terrible road conditons from Salt Lake back to Provo, and assuming it was just the poor little young men out in the bitter cold collecting fast offerings I chose to ignore it. Later that morning when my brain began functioning again and I realized it wasn't even Fast Sunday I got curious about the early morning caller. Sam and I were looking out the window at all the freshly fallen snow and noticed something strange in the front yard. The picket fence was missing! On the door there was a scrap of paper with simply a name and phone number. The fence wrecker obviously knew we would easily figure out what it was all about. I want to put a sign in the yard that says, "See what happens when you hooligans go so fast around this corner."

I think this is the most snow we've had since we've lived in this house. Daniel got a great workout shoveling and Sam was pretty fascinated with this new white world.

We're starting Sam early on the family beverage. His Coke cup is one of his new favorite toys. He's got the hang of it.

We have lots of pictures to post today. Last week we made Sammy a fort and he said it was pretty cool.


He is learning and growing so fast. He pays more attention to the things around him and moves around pretty well. He can get frustrated when he can't reach what he wants. He has just realized there is a mobile on his swing.

He loves to sit up, but he still needs a little bit of spotting. He likes to play in his bed or on the floor with "Boppy" for support.

We put up our Christmas tree and Sam loves all the lights. I took lots of pictures of him with his "Baby's first Christmas" bib and a stuffed dog that barks Christmas songs.

We've been so busy lately that we haven't been posting new pictures. Sam and Daniel hang out together when I work in the evenings. Here is Dad and his little buddy.

Sam is getting smarter and smarter everyday. He is so much more interactive. He tries to mimic us and investigates everything. He is so fun.
