1 of 2 - the Midwest edition

So many photos from so many events the past few weeks. Bear with us while we get things all organized. First we all went to Bellingham (near Canada) for a wedding, then it was off to Milwaukee for Dad's brother's graduation from Marquette, and Omaha to see Great-Grandma Jeanne. What a whirlwind, so it'll take two posts to get it all in.

Sam's new accomplishments: Giving actual kisses, not just blown kisses; finally making a shot in his hoop with his basketball. Sadly, no video (yet) of either.

After mom's friend's wedding, Dad hands Sam some rocks to toss into the lake.

Milwaukee! Sam's got wet pants (and shoes) ((and socks)). Uhh, Dad kinda allowed Sam full access to the fountain.

...but Dad played it off with aplomb, not letting Sam's feet get any wetter a bit later.

At the pre-graduation dinner, Sam decided to fire a warning shot across the bow of the table.

Grandpa Craig and Sam enjoy some time outside the restaurant.

Sam and cousin Mason meet and are instant friends.

Mason even takes a moment to pose for a photo.

This photo, and the next one, were taken back-to-back. We just missed them making the same face at the same time. First Sam puckers up...

...then Mom offers a kiss.

Sam's excited that the rocks splash so big!

Mason and Sam can't wait to get together again to make some big splashes.
