Yes...it has been a while...

My thanks to all those people who have prodded us about the blog and wondered if Sam was ever going to grow up...

Well, while we would prefer him not to grow up too much (though we do appreciate the fact that he is sleeping through), we cannot deny the passage of time. So, here are some latest pix (both of Sam and the some of the other Stars), as well as some very modest commentary.

Generally, the Band of Brothers have welcomed Sam with open arms....Jem, in particular, has loved having a little brother:


But Tom has been pretty excited as well:


Partly that is because Sam is just a great natured kid - lots of smiles and laughs...



(Yes, getting out was harder than getting in!)

But also because he is a typical fourth child, wanting to join with the Band whatever they are doing...


...regardless of personal cost (note to selves: commando style babies, floorboards, three older brothers and heavy rain outside mix in unattractive ways).



And then, I just like this photo - "Ben and Tom's first ride on 'The Big Drop'" - if only for the anticipation on Tom's face, in contrast to Ben's more focussed approach :

(Both loved it, in case you were wondering).

So, as we hang on for the wild ride to the end of the year, and look forward to the quiet of January, we are very thankful to God for the great blessings He has bestowed upon us.
