Meeting Sam

Today we took a ride up to Maryland to meet Simone's newest cousin Samuel George.  He's just 2 1/2 weeks old, and just about the most pleasant little guy I've ever met.  Even though Simone spent most of the time playing with his older brother Jack, she did take some time to say hello and help with his feeding.

 Then out to play.  It took a few minutes for Simone to figure out the mechanics, but then look out.  I don't think they left an inch of the lawn or a single tree dry.

 We ended the visit with a short trip over to the local ice cream place.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous today so we ate outside and then let the kids play a little more on the benches, which when you're a kid, double as a play set quite nicely.
