Chatting with Sam on Halloween

Happy Halloween

Sam woke up this morning full of smiles in his festive attire ready for his first Halloween. The pumpkin hat he is wearing below is the only item left of his pumpkin costume that still fits him. He is getting too tall for most of his clothes, but not quite filling them out in the waist... this may be a trend....

Phil won't be here for Sam's first Halloween because he is traveling for work. So....we threw an early Halloween party before he left and dressed Sam up in a few Halloween Costumes so daddy wouldn't miss out....

Happy Halloween Daddy- we miss you!

Mom is for Milk, Dad is for Giggles

I hope to post a video soon, but have not yet been able to capture it... However Sam is officially giggling now. It doesn't seem like that big of deal, but combining that big gummy grin with a case of the giggles is just so darn cute.

Why haven't I been able to capture it? Well, apparently Mom isn't really that funny. But whenever dad comes around, life seems to get hilarious. Pretty much any interaction with Phil makes Sam giggle. Even if I imitate what Phil does, I can't get the giggle. I usually get a, "Get outta here mom, this is a boy thing" look.

This morning Phil was getting ready and Sam and I were in a different room. Just hearing Phil talking and singing made him smile and laugh. I must admit, I absolutely love seeing the father son bonding starting already.

Hopefully my sense of humor will be an acquired taste.

First Family Trip to Bloomington

Sam's 1st IU game! Go Hoosiers!
Sam's first road trip...we buckled and gave him a pacifier. They don't call them pacifiers for nothing!

Phil, Sam and I in Beck Chapel where we got married!

We met a couple there who were about to have their wedding in the Chapel. After they kindly took our picture I told them, "Congratulations!" to which Phil quickly responded, " he hasn't said yes yet."

hmmmm?....

Thompson family outside Beck Chapel.

Bloomington couldn't have been more beautiful this time of year! What a fabulous last minute family road trip!!!

Pumpkins for our pumpkin......

"I'll never for forgive my parents for this"

too much pumpkin juice....

Life is funny sometimes.....

Not to worry ladies, I have a serious side too....
