We Met Baby Samuel

Corinne and I are home from a wonderful week in Denver with her Cousin Sam, Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Tommy, and Miss Amy. Sam is now smiling and is a very handsome with his big blue eyes. It was so great to finally meet him.
One day we went to the zoo. We saw a 12 day old giraffe (he is laying down). We met Andrea, Emery, and Lilly for an excellent zoo tour. Emery is two and half (give or take) and calls Sam "Baby Samuel" all the time. It is totally adorable.
We had a nice brunch with cousins in Colorado. It was fun to have 6 kids / babies all of the place.

Amy took Corinne and I to the garden of the gods in Colorado Springs, and then shopping in Manitou Springs. I miss her!

Corinne and Sam enjoyed story time. Tiffany was much more coordinated with both kids than I was.
Don't get me wrong, I can hold them both. Sam was handed to me when I held them both. Tiff was able to pick them both up on her own.

Corinne missed her dad and was thrilled to see him and be home. Corinne is pulling up to stand on everything. She laughs and laughs when dogs bark or talk. She is crawling fast, and moves one foot in front of the other when you hold her hands. She also gives hugs and kisses and is a blast all around.

Denver

Corinne and I have made it to Denver safe and sound. Every seat on the flight was full and there were over a dozen lap babies. We were petrified to get on the plan, expecting the worst, hoping for the best. We were in the second row aisle, very nice :) A wonderful couple from Denver was sitting next to us. We could not have asked for better neighbors. Their kids are grown and they were originally from Michigan. So, they flew with them many times. She was helpful, interesting, and sweet. Corinne adored her and the 1 month old behind us, they laughed and laughed. She took a nice hour long nap on my lap, had some bottle on the way up and way down. It was great. We had another fantastic flight.

Now we are here and Sam is adorable!! I can not believe how big he is already. Corinne has the cutest cousins. We saw everyone last night and got settled in. Today it is 70 and sunny. We miss Kevin already, but are having a marvelous trip so far.
