Some recent videos

In the next video, try to focus on Sam and not his mama. (Although I think she's adorable!) This is the Sam dance, and his favorite electronica band.

We're blogging again!

Don't anybody get used to this type of regularity....no promises for the next six months. Here are a few of Sam lately.
