Remebering Donald Reuben Bacon

Thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures with Grandpa Bacon who passed away on Saturday. His funeral was held today.

Sam and I had an AWESOME time in Iowa/Missouri!!! It was so nice to spend some time with Sam's Aunties and Uncles and to meet his new little cousin Thomas! And the food was wonderful- got some new recipes to try out on Scott (he doesn't know that yet...)
The ride back was a little white-knuckle at times, but we made it and now that we know it can be done, we may do it again someday- with Daddy along too though! It was nice to get back to Daddy- and he missed us too! And Sam was such a good boy for his Gramma Diane today- no pictures of them...so you'll have to take my word. Overall no-one could believe how much Sam talks- well, jabbers is a better word...and how strong he is, and how smiley- he's mostly a happy boy! Thanks to all for your hospitality and to Sam's Grandmas for helping watch him while our Day-Care gal was on vacation (she went to Vegas from last Thursday thru today). So tomorrow is back to 'normal' for Sam. Hope to see you all again soon!

Would you like some ham with those peas?!

Baby Butt!

The view from the front!

PEAS!!

Big Boy Bath!

Sam's Big Boy Bath!

Sam has graduated from his infant bath-tub and seems to have acclimated quite well to sink-bathing! And on another positive note, he slept quite well last night and took a stellar nap today, so hopefully it was temporary...either way more sleep makes for happier Mommas and babies (and Daddies).

How soon we forget...

All right you new parents out there...we may have been empathizing with you lately about lack of sleep...but now we sympathize. Not sure if it's teething, his cold, a growth spurt or spite, but Mr. Sam has NOT been sleeping well this week! The following picture is his guilty look. He's been sleeping through the night consistently since he was two months old (almost five months ago?!) so I'm a little out of practice with this! Hoping you're all well (and well-rested ha ha ha).
