Easter, Grandparents, Spring Break,

Been a really fun few weeks. Maggie and Papa Jack came down for their Spring Break two weeks ago, Sam loved it. My SB was this past week. Didn't get the Indiana invasion we were hoping for for the Final Four but life goes on. Sam seems to be growing so fast, he is flipping over quite a bit, talking Sam talk all day, and growing out of a lot of his clothes. Here are a few pics and videos, enjoy!

4 month pics

Crazy the blog is coming up one one year. I remember typing the first post during the Louisville/Kentucky Final Four game last year. The first two days of the tourney this year has been awesome, IU won its first round matchup versus James Madison pretty easily.

Anyhow things are going well down here. Bonnie caught a bad sore throat Thursday but feels a bit better today, so that is a relief. Golf season has been a bit uneventful with all of the rain we have been getting. I got selected to coach the County All Star game, so that will be fun, really lucky the game will be when Mom and Dad are down for Spring Break.

We have enjoyed having a few visitors come through. Two weekends ago Mike and Mary came down, Sam showed off by rolling for the first time with the four of us cheering him on. He went back to belly, which he has only done once since, but is starting to master the belly to back. He is also grabbing at toys a lot more now.

Nate and Erica then came through for an evening before their conference. Sam and Hope hit it off, it was really funny to watch them. As Nate pointed out, eating Fox Brothers AND watching IU beat Michigan for the Big Ten title was a bit overwhelming.

Things with Katie are going fine. We definitely love our weekends to be able to hang with the little man all day!

3 Months

Sam is 3 months old today, crazy! Bonnie went back to work yesterday and today was Katie's first day coming to watch Sam, everything seemed to go well. Bonnie's schedule is scaled back to 32 hours so that is good. The schedule ended up being a huge blessing as our basketball season ended last week so I am able to get home at a pretty decent time on days Bon works late. We love our big guy so much and are having a blast with him, here are some pics!
