Samuel is 2!!

Our beautiful Honda!

 So, lots to catch up on!  This is our lovely new car, which was very helpful on moving day.  It seats 8, which means we can give people rides again!  :-)

Aunt Alexis, Amanda, and Andrew!

Alexis and Amanda were able to come up for a visit over Conference weekend.  We finally made it down to the City and saw some of the sights.  Thanks for giving us the impetus, Alexis!












One of the sights we saw included the cookie monster, which Samuel loved, as you can see.  (And then we paid that guy a tip for the picture.)










Times Square was pretty much what we expected it to be.  Big, open, very flashy.  We sat right in the middle to eat our packed snacks.  It was pretty windy.  We also saw the 9/11 Memorial under construction, and the Statue of Liberty.  It was fun to ride the subway and see the skyline.













Samuel also turned 2 this last month.  He's in his own toddler bed now, which has included lots of ups and downs, and he's very much enjoying our new house.  He loves to go outside and see the cars and lawnmowers and bugs.  He's getting better at going to nursery, and he still loves to dance his little dance, which I will get a video of and post. He's loving walking on tiptoe recently and loves to interact with Andrew.

Andrew and I sharing a sucker.  I have the good end.

Our favorite toy--dirt!

Cute boy Andrew!

 

We finally figured out a way to get our videos onto our computer without the USB cable that we lost.  This is Samuel's favorite video to watch.  :-)
