Sam I Am

Sam likes to talk right before he goes to sleep at night.  That is when he wants to tell you about all the the rich ideas and feelings that move through his mind.  Last night he told me, "I have two brains. My second brain is my heart.  It remembers everything.  I think that I can hear a little thinker in there."
Sam carries with him a longing for deep understanding of the world and the way things work. A few days ago he said, "What is God made of?"
I said, "Everything."
Then he asked, "Who made God?"

 Here Sam is ready to go out and learn in the world at his first day of Kindergarten at Journey School.  (Happy here, but the tears came later and for the first week.  Now, thank goodness he loves his school.)

Evan is my helper in the kitchen.  On this particular day we were making Joe's birthday cake and yes Evan is wearing a batter beard.  Yum!

The boys love to celebrate a birthday!
