Here are some other various photos from the last week. Sorry the top photo is sort of yellow, guess that is a lighting issue. The picture of Sam and Ben shows Sam's "busted" top lip. He tripped a week ago Wednesday and fell on the tile in the dining room. No one told us that lips bleed so much, but apparently Sam's top teeth cut through his top lip. It happened just as Mom was getting ready to go to the "baby's doctor" (aka, the OB/GYN) for her final appointment, and I had to leave my injured, crying "baby" in the hands of his dad. But I guess dad did okay, because when I got home everyone was just fine.

We are excited to go out of town this weekend to "celebrate" President's Day. We are going to visit Uncle Hugh at St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, KS. We will take in a Benedictine College basketball game (mostly to supervise the basketball chaplain), stay in room #2 of the Guest House (Sam's all time favorite - see the pictures from Thanksgiving). Then we'll leave Sunday to go to Kansas City to meet up with our friends Scott and Jennifer, and their son Joey (see the picures from December for a picture of Sam and Joey). And even more exciting the temperatures next week are to be in the 40's and even the 50's. Life is good!
