Some Pictures are Great

Some pictures are not so much.  Ben looks great, though.

North of the Border

The boy on the right and the boy on the left went to Canada with Auntie Heidi yesterday.  She came for the weekend to hang out and to take them up early.  They are having a fun time chasing Phoebe the cat around the house.  They stopped just north of Ann Arbor to play in the McDonald's playland and then in Birch Run to share a HUGE sundae.  The boy in the middle leaves for Canada with his parents and sister tomorrow morning.  This picture is post-Starbucks' cocoa.  The flash makes Ben's eyes look goofy.  I didn't slip Bailey's in his cocoa.

Check back here. I'll be posting here a bit this weekend. Pictures, videos, etc. I've got internet access for the weekend down here in Carolina.

Sam Quote 7.16.2007

While Sam was on the pot last night, and Naomi was reading him a story:

Sam: "When I'm a big man, I'm going to read stories ..."

Mommy: "That's good, Sam."

Sam: "...to people when they poop."

Our Weblog's Birthday

It's today. In honor of our weblog's two year anniversary, here are two Sam quotes:

(while holding a crying Luke) "It's okay, it's okay. I know. I know. I know." then to mommy "Why do we talk to him?"

as he has just been told he will be disciplined, he implores Naomi with: "Give me grace and mercy."

Sam Quote from 6.21.2007

"I don't like it when Grandma [Laura Buehrle] calls you Matthew. It makes me very upset. 'Cause your name isn't 'Matthew,' it's 'Matt'."

Another gem from earlier in the week, when asked to say his full name:

"Samuel Josiah Matt Buehrle."

Clipperless Haircuts

Ending a summer tradition, the boys got haircuts sans clippers. Photos of the aforementioned haircuts will likely be forthcoming, as we anticipate many photos of the boys and their new sibling (due June 21, 2007) will be taken soon. Many thanks to the patient barber-ette.
