1,000,000,000 Seconds

OK, this post isn't Sam related ...BUT Sam's Dad will be one billion seconds old this Saturday at 8:05am Pacific time. Although presents are condoned, they are not absolutely necessary. Gifts should be unique for the event. That is all.

A Vidertoo

It's amazing how excited the boy gets for strawberries...so yeah, we had to take lots of photos, and some videos. Enjoy!

A whole strawberry...for me?!

Big bite!

Mouth full o'berry

Pure joy!

Ahh, fragaria xananassa...and quite a specimen at that. The Rosaceae family produces delicious fruits. One cup of strawberries constitutes approximately 45 calories and is an excellent source of Vitamin C and flavonoids.

One Warm Day Amidst some Wet Ones

So if you live in Seattle, or pay any attention at all to Seattle weather, then you know that last Friday and Saturday were tremendously awesome. Friday was sunny and 65, on Saturday it got to 80 and we were invited onto a yacht on Lake Washington, which we accepted. Those days gave us hope that spring was officially here and that we'd be spending more time at the park.

Wrong. We sadly welcomed back rain and colder temperatures on Sunday, and showers are expected all week.

Back to Saturday - it was quite possibly the longest length of time Sam has been out of the house when not traveling more than 20 miles from home. After music class we got to the yacht and found it to be rather large...56' with two cabins and plenty of room to play. Sam managed to take a 2 hour nap on the ride, which was pretty impressive.

New rain coat! He won't wear his pirate boots though.

First photo on the water for Sam.

He enjoys an ice-cold can of PBR on a 56' yacht.

Now up on deck with Mommy enjoying the sun.

Collin, Katina, and Sam enjoy a plethora of bubbles.

Sam ended up with the larger part of the wishbone...we wonder what his wish was?

Sam's chair has been relocated upstairs, he loves to climb and sit on it.

In your face!

The square won't whistle.
