My Handsome Sam

At this point, I'm sure I have overextended my welcome of New York City posts… but I took hundreds of pictures, and I want to make good use of them. So, the fun is not over yet!
Here begins a 3-part series which includes some random pictures that haven't fit in with the topics of my other posts… I'll begin with a few of Sam!
 I just love this sweet look on his face… (and the bubbly background makes my Nikon smile!)
 Sam is such a thinker, it always makes me happy to see him let loose and just be silly! 
 This looks like a picture I have of Sam when he was just a baby… I love it.
 Makes me happy to see him cuddle up with me and smile...
 Sweet moment...
 Love his baby blues… and this is my favorite look he gives.
 He was really tired here, but being the pleaser he is, he was trying to give me a good picture. He's precious.
I adore how Sam is so patient, and watches over Charlie's shoulder
 They both look adorable in this one
 We were in Little Italy, and Sam and I had all kinds of fun! He had a coin in his hand and was having me guess which one it was in...
Apparently I got it wrong this time!
That's my handsome Sam ~

    Agreed - he is a handsome young man! All of your pictures are fabulous ~ but if I was going to pick my very favorite ~ it would be the second to last one, where both hands are clenched and the eyes look of mischief :D Priceless.

In That Space

Image
Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…

Peak 8 and Carter Park

Image
We geared up the next morning to enjoy a few more of the fun adventures Breckenridge has to offer.   We started with a gondola ride up to Peak 8 This gave us an opportunity to check out the ski slopes and helped convince me to take Sam and Charlie skiing...  Yikes!! (more to come on that)   Our kids are going to jump in a snow pile anywhere they can and start playing...   You know it's a good day when you're sitting beneath some blue skies 8,000 feet above sea level, having a drink and some lunch outside near a small fire, and watching people enjoy the gorgeous slopes of Colorado. Robbie's Tavern at Peak 8 ~ highly recommend! Onward to Carter Park to indulge in some sledding!   Can you even stand this smile? We took a picture just like this one below in this same place 10 years ago with a baby Sam and Charlie laying on top of me!  Oh the years gone by....   And finally, a few sl

Charlie learns to swim!!!

Image
It seems that there is a magical moment in every child's life where the concept of swimming just clicks. I remember Sam had his moment in the Renaissance Hotel overlooking Manhattan just before his 4th birthday. We had been driving for 11 hours straight, and he was so excited to get some energy out - he just started swimming all over the salt water pool.  Well, Charlie had his moment this past week in Orlando. While he was first a little angry that his mommy and daddy forgot his swim vest, he later become the happiest little boy in Florida!   Racing his big brother Great Job Charlie Hatcher!! So proud of my newest little fishy! Here are a few others of our day at the pool. I think I accidentally incriminated myself here … with a shot of Sam sipping on my chai :/   Is it just me, or does Sam look exactly Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber in this picture below??   Love. It.   Big Cannonball into the pool! Now a backflip...   Charlie g
