Little man in the Cali sun

Stephen Day a.k.a. Ersht snapped this photo of Sam. That's me in the background. I was just getting over a cold, hence the lovely lounging outfit.

At your service...

Sammy J serving fruit to the women at the prayer meeting. He even offered napkins! I'm proud of this little man.

Sammy J and Nasir

These two hit it off the moment they met. I swear, they entertain themselves for hours!! Playing ball, dinosaurs, cars, trucks, watching movies, wrestling. They have fun! Here they are at a park near Nasir's house.

On our way back down to Cali

Well, we packed up our house in Portland, OR and headed down the coast. This pic was taken near Sacramento during one of our leg stretching stops. Sammy J loves deer so this was a great photo op.

A grandparent moment!

Ruby, Sammy J, Grandpa and Grandma Kathy. Ruby's playing a webkinz game while they all watch. JB and are in the kitchen., hanging. On our iPhone's?!...  (In Portland packing up)

Grandpa with the grandkids!

At our Portland house packing up over 12 days..... Sammy J with cousin Ruby Jude, both on grandpa's lap.

Sunny and snowy... in Portland?!

When we woke up this morning there was a blanket of white out there. It's already melting so we got outside right after brekers and OJ. Couldn't really do snow angels with this wet stuff, but we had lots of snowball tossing!

Building a plane with Daddy

On the road back to Portland. In a hotel in Grants Pass Oregon. On our way to pack up the Portland house and move into our cute little cottage in Topanga Canyon.
This isn't the cabin, we're in a cottage now! Fireplace, little porch, separate studio, big yard, lotsa light, family neighborhood... We scored!

And, of course, he's holding Lightning McQueen

A Sammy J fantasy!

Driving... Or should I say, being Lightning McQueen. On a Daddy son outing to Toys r us
