Maestro Sam



The Montgomery Symphony Orchestra held a concert Friday evening downtown by the State Capitol. We carried a picnic and our lawn chairs and enjoyed an evening of beautiful music. Aunt Sherry and Uncle Pat joined us. Sam found a stick and quickly learned how to conduct music. The video below shows Nick and Sam wrestling with each other. I am so blessed to have so much free entertainment!

Boys will be Boys






It is in their DNA.. they loves cars and trucks.. the bigger the better! Sam looked so cute when he put on his fire chief hat and pulled out his big firetruck (he has smaller ones). I had an amazing Mother's Day (and weekend). We went to a Biscuits game Saturday evening (notice Sam's hat?). We had such a nice time. Sam ate a hot dog, roasted peanuts, popcorn, a snow cone, and dippin dots. We walked around the ball park and let him play in the children's area.. and then we topped off the night with spectacular fireworks! Sunday we woke up early because it was our day to volunteer at church (Nick drives shuttle and I work in the nursery). Sam LOVES riding the shuttle with Nick... so we rode with him twice before going into church. After church, Sam's adopted grandparents (GiGi and Paw Paw) treated us to lunch. When we got home Nick and Sam gave me their cards and presents! I am so BLESSED!!! I could not help but reflect about Sam's birth mom and the priceless gift she has given me! God Bless her wherever she is and may God give her peace. I know she has to think of him often... especially since he will be celebrating his 3rd birthday soon. My little boy is growing so fast!
