Cousins!

Two sweet-faced kids begin to get acquainted.

I love this picture

It's my father's mother and some of his youngest siblings. Left to right, that's my Grandma Frey, Aunt Kay, Uncle Tommy, Aunt Teresa below and Uncle Dick above, with Dick's wife Aunt Helen on the right and the Christ Child overhead. I find it a little scary how much Uncle Tommy looks like Luke.

Still more Sam

Thoughtful Sam

Sleepy Sam (most of the day, never at night)

Some new pictures of Sam

He loves to be swaddled.

 His first bath!

Safe and warm and sound asleep.

Mother and son

Will the circle be unbroken?

Welcome, Samuel Jacob.

Recent pics and videos

We just put nearly our entire photo and family video collection on google photos, making it much easier to sort and share. I'm gonna try to send and post more photos going forward. Here are some recent ones from Christmas and the surrounding days.
