recent pics and a pregnant pic

Below are some recent photos of our family. Today, Samuel had two birthday parties to attend for neighbor kids--both for little girls. So, we suited up and had an afternoon full of swimming and fun. Samuel did well for about 3 hours, then was asking to go home--he was getting tired and I think over-stimulated.
Rudi and Samuel going down the waterslide at the resort where we live. Our next door neighbors (the ones we share a duplex with) had their daughter's 5th birthday party here. This pic was taken during Caitlyn's party. Caitlyn plays so well with Samuel--it is so sweet to watch them. I need to get photos of them playing together.
We feel very blessed to live where we do. Especially as Samuel gets older and can do more and more outside.
On a side note, you may notice Rudi holding his right arm strangely in the picture above. That's because he broke his scapula (shoulder blade) in a mountain biking accident about 5 weeks ago. He thought it was all muscle pain for a few weeks and did not seek medical care. When things were not getting better at all, he finally got x-rays that revealed why he has been in so much pain! We found out that scapula fractures are quite rare and they frequently occur in people who have been in high speed motor vehicle crashes that have multiple other serious injuries. So, we are very thankful that Rudi did NOT have any other serious injuries from this accident.

One of Rudi's co-workers and our good friend, Margrethe, also loves Curry Kebab. When we get together, we pick up the food and she comes over to our place so we can eat and put Samuel to bed.

Me at 30 weeks pregnant. Just a little over 2 months to go. I know, I look like I could deliver any day, but I do have quite a bit more time left.

Rudi and Samuel playing at Jazzie's (pictured on right) 2nd birthday party. Jazzie and Samuel will mention each other's names, but they play together in that 1-year-old sort of way.

So nice that the weather allows to have outside parties! So sorry about Rudi's injury! I hope it heals well! You look great with your belly! Aaron doesn't take good pictures of me...
