The Light Family: memorial day weekend

Memorial Day weekend was a lot of fun, the weather was a little iffy during the weekend, but Monday was absolutely beautiful - a great day for a pancake breakfast, hometown parade and a cul-de-sac BBQ. Sam is definitely walking now, all by himself. For the last couple of months he has been taking a few steps here and there - but now it is official - he is off and walking ... everywhere. Dan and I are so excited to have this added element of fun in our lives. One day very soon, I may not be able to catch him.

After dinner fun with Mom.

Overcast Saturday - invited some friends over to have a dip in the pool. Sam wasn't a big fan ... he was a little cranky pants about getting into the pool.

Rise and shine Maplewood Drive cul-de-sac ... we were all up early on Memorial Day for the Boy Scouts Pancake breakfast. After breakfast we stepped outside for the Memorial Day parade. Later that day we all got together for a BBQ in the middle of the cul-de-dac. We really do live in Hometown America. WE LOVE IT. I am waiting to get pictures from the breakfast, I will post them in a later post.

All (most) the kids of Maplewood Drive sit on the curb waiting for the parade to begin.

Left to Right: Jackson (2), Sam, Karen (12), Robbie (1), Abe (2), Cade (9), Zack (4), Derek (9), Misha (4), Colin (6) ... Lots of friends.

Sam loved hanging out with the big kids.

What a little flirt - Sam loves Karen, she is such a sweetie with him. Karen has been helping out with Sam on the weekends, she is mothers helper now - future babysitter.

Boogers!!!

Sam was having too much fun that he wouldn't go down for a nap. Quick cruise around the neighborhood knocks him out every time. Doesn't look to comfortable.

BBQ in the cul-de-sac!!!
