It's a family affair

This weekend my brothers, John and Ben, and sister-in-law, Sarah, came down for a visit, though to be honest, they actually spent more time with Sammy than me, but I'm totally okay with that because it freed up some time for myself.  And what exactly did I do with this free time on my hands?  Well, on Saturday I basically spent the entire day in my pajamas simply because I could--it also helps that there was no one else in the house.  I also watched trashy television programs, caught up on gossip websites and did absolutely nothing that anyone could consider productive.  It was fabulous.

I had to work on Sunday, so Sammy got to spend the day with his uncles and aunt and practiced very important things, like standing on his own.  He's getting frighteningly good at it:


Ben and Sarah are expecting their first child this September, so I was more than happy to loan them Sammy for a bit so they could get some practice with the basics.  Sammy, however, was a little concerned when he learned that Uncle Ben was going to be the one getting him ready for bed last night.

 You're letting who do what now?

Ben successfully managed to change Sammy into his night-time diaper and pajamas with only some minor shedding of tears--fortunately Sarah was there to help out.  I think the two of them are going to be just fine when their little bundle of joy arrives this September.

So in completely random news, I've finally joined the twenty-first century and created a facebook account for myself and my blog.  There's a little box-thingy over there on the right--feel free to give me a click and "like" my blog or whatever the kids are calling it these days. You can't see it, but I'm giving you all a big thumbs up right now.
