Life is good!

 

End of the season...

Soccer season is over, YAY! uhh I mean - go team?

This was Sam's first season playing and while he seemed to enjoy it, he remains a bit clueless.

I guess we'll be back next year, it really was a lot of fun. :)

yes, June THIRD 

and the larger picture....

 

Don't people pay attention to signs?

Obviously not! This is a new park near our house, its been SO much fun but this picture was taken WAY prior to June 3rd. ;-)  

How we beat the heat

Fun in the sun and on the slip-n-slide.
Its been so very hot here....over 100 some days and with a very high humidity - thank God for water and our new slip-n-slide. Here Sammy was having a good time getting wet. :)

 

Summer is hard on a little guy

After an afternoon at the park, in 90some degree heat, this is what our little guy looked like:

He's growing!

Sledding this past winter with Pop-Pop
Before the Spring Recital - in the car (think he's mentally preparing?) (05-02-06)

During the recital
First day of soccer (April 2006) - got the game face on!

Catching up...

Haven't posted any pics in a while, just got back from the beach, so here are some from the beach and some from before. :)

Got to see lots of gulls. :)













It was raining the first few days there - beach overcast.





















From the water looking up to land. Low vantage point. ;-)


















This is before I left...rain, rain....






















and my son's boots.....puddle jumping. :)
















Another flower from the garden, before they all fade into winter. :)

Early Days

Yes, the early days....a whole month ago!

These are some of the first purposed shots I took:

Grate to see you!
Window grates corner building Fells Point MD

don't tread on me

Came across this little guy while hiking...probably would have stepped on him had it not been for two guys coming towards me who spotted him and jumped out of the path. :)
