Sammy's stroller


It has been so nice - slightly cooler weather (already!) that makes you want to be outside all day. So with Hamp's new found bike riding skills, we are often out and about. What is Sam's mode of transportation these days you might ask? Well...



Sam is hooked on pushing his stroller, usually occupied by various toys or babies or plush animals. So we spent yesterday afternoon cruisin' around town and playing at the skate park!



So while Hamp worked on some bike riding skills,

Sam worked on getting speed with his stroller!

It's been a fun first week of Kindergarten - Sammy and I have had some great times together in the morning. Hamp has already brought home lots of fun things he can do - a book to read, some counting activities, and lots of interesting stories! We have a wonderfully open weekend ahead - if the weather stays so nice I'm sure we'll be outside mostly.


Perhaps climbing a tree...


... but probably pushing a stroller!

first day of school

Hamp is off to kindergarten!



He was so excited to carry his backpack, ride his bike to school, and see his friends! I didn't get so much as a wave out of him - once he found his buddies and a football, I was old news. Oh well - I wouldn't want it any other way... right???

away we go...

What better way to start chronicling the adventures of Hamp and Sam than to show off Hamp's latest milestone: no training wheels!


It's been a couple days now, and he wants to ride all the time! It's great... and we couldn't be prouder!

by the way, note the "shout out" to the grandparents in the video?
