4 months

We spent Thanksgiving week in Gatlinburg with both of our families- so wonderful!
And someone hit the big 4-months!
 





 
 
Patrick and Terry went fishing Friday morning.
I couldn't believe there were fish in downtown Gatlinburg
worth eating, but they fried up 4 big ones for lunch.
 
They also painted two small masterpieces
on the Dogwood Pointe sign

We are thankful!

Meeting the GG's!

A few weeks ago Samuel finally got to meet his Missouri great-grandparents, Roe and King. They made the long drive on a week when no one else would be visiting so they would not have to share this little boy with anyone.

 I think he stole her heart pretty fast.
GG Roe brought lots of presents

Samuel loves kicking GG King in the chest
and GG Roe loves the disposable camera.
 
The other big event in the Martin house is starting solid foods. I never
imagined we would do this so soon, but this champion sleeper started
waking up at night, and he decided he was ready for more.
And he is loving it.
 
 We started with just a little oatmeal in a bottle.
 And then moved on to the spoon.
And a week later we are starting squash.
I say no more veggies for mommy,
now that Samuel is eating them on his own!
 
And...
we got to see Dara, Jeremy, Olivia, Boone,
and little baby Eli, visiting from Slovakia!
 
And, to wrap things up,
Samuel's first Cru staff conference.
Trying to get a little shut-eye,
resting his little rear on the table.
