Another busy weekend...We drove to ATL for the 5th time in three weeks on Saturday. We participated in a fundraiser for a program called Beads of Courage which is coming to the Sibley Heart Center (Sam's cardiologist/surgeon group). The program gives hand made glass beads for each procedure/hospital stay that a child goes through. The child/parent journal about each bead, and it is set up as a way for the child to claim an ownership over their medical achievements. The fundraiser was at a SUPER nice bowling alley at Atlantic Station, a SUPER nice shopping center in DT ATL. Sam met up with his heart friend, Matthew. This photo of the two of them looks extremely similar to the last photo I have of the two of them...Matthew is being soooo good and Sam is being a total butt. Fun was had by all, and I can't wait for Beads of Courage to start at Sibley!
Sunday was great, too. Our neighborhood (which is relatively new) finally pulled together an active neighborhood association. They had their first big event...an Easter egg hunt! We got to see/meet a lot our neighbors and their kids. Sam hung out with his friend James, who is just 4 days older than him! We met a family who's 3 year old daughter had open heart surgery at Egleston a year ago, and who's cardiologist is Sam's cardiologist! Sam found a few eggs, ate a really messy cookie, and showed off his bike cart to his friends!
Afterwards, Sam ate dinner and got a bath. While I was running the water, I stripped Sam down in the bathroom. He was kneeling by the bathtub and getting super excited to get in; I've never seen him jump up and down with excitement for a bath! When I finally lifted his naked butt into the tub, I realized he had left a little puddle of pee on the rug by the tub. Guess the excitement was just too great!~Kathy

Lol! The tub story is awesome! I can't believe how big Sam is getting. His legs look so long compared to Benjamin's. hahaha! How cool that y'all are able to participate in all those different events! :)
