The boys met Rowen for the first time today. This sweet boy held his baby cousin and talked to him for a good 15 minutes, despite plenty of other things going on around him. And, he probably would have continued to hold him if he hadn't been called to dinner! {Rowen was unimpressed and continued to sleep through the whole thing!}

I need to document Sam's fabulous boo-boo over his eye as well. We were at his friend's birthday party. There were probably 15 or so 7 year old boys there, all running about as boys do. Well, Sam was standing on a rock and got pushed off, and apparently (although I'm still mystified as to how it could have happened) someone's foot made contact with his forehead. He had a big bloody scrape, but he was quite brave and we stayed at the party. After some TLC and a band-aid, he was good to go. He showed his wound to everyone at Meemom's house that night and re-told his tale of injury. Sam wore a BIG band-aid to school for several days that next week, which made him famous. (Or was at least one of three reasons why he now thinks he's famous... more to come on that later!)
