Memorial Day weekend

We went to Geoff's parent's lake house for the long holiday weekend.  It was really lovely and very fun to be able to hang out with everyone.  Nicholas and Sam were actively playing together and Sam picked up a few words from Nicholas along the way :)  Here are a few photos from the lake - Sam played in the sand for a bit, and maybe our next visit we we will all be swimming:

Gisela

Sam's second nanny Gisela went back home to Mexico on 5/23/11.  She took her entrance exam for her new college and will be starting there in a little bit.  We were so incredibly lucky to have Gisela in our family for close to 9 months - she was so wonderful with Sam and we will miss her.  I am glad though we were able to provide a fun intermission while she was in between universities.  There are so many great photos of them together, but her are some favorites:

Washing Dishes - May 18, 2011

Seeing as it has been a month since I last posted, and I do not know how to back-dates posts, I will just leave the title to do the explanation ;)


Besides sweeping, Sam is very curious in washing dishes - we let him have a go of it a few weeks back and he was an instant pro:

The pros don't use hands
