Whoa! We have had a crazy amount of family visiting in the last few months! I'm posting like three blog posts into one, so excuse me!

We love all the visitors, though, don't get me wrong. We need all the diversions we can get to keep us on our toes.

So...news...Sam has his first tooth, which is on the top right. Now, in the last few days, it seems like the left one is coming in too. I always thought the bottom teeth came in first. Maybe he's just breaking all the rules on purpose!

The Lux clan was in for a nice week's stay. Sonny was competing in the Scottish Highland Games here so everyone decided to come and support him. It was so much fun having everyone here. Sonny, Cousins Carrie and Emily and their husbands and Carrie's son Hunter. Hunter was two in June, so he's a bit younger than Ronnie but they got along alright- when they weren't fighting over their Thomas trains!

Here's Sam in the middle of a two-year-old sandwich!

Sam is on the move!!! He's officially crawling. It's army style, but he's really fast and, of course, loves to go for all the power cords, tall tables with lamps and all of the other dangerous furniture. Hmmm....

Here's Rob making sausage with Sam on his back! He and Janet, our shop manager, bought a whole pig and butchered it themselves. We spent last weekend at here house making sausage- 35#! It's delicious!

Brothers: the best of friends and the worst of enemies!

Here's Ronnie with his new train table. He had to be nice to Sam for three whole days to get it. Here is a pic of his Lego Thomas trains, but we have more of the Brio Thomas sets. He's diving head first into Thomas the Tank Engine.

We're having a good time with everything, though. The shop is very busy, Ronnie starts a new preschool program after Labor Day and Rob's sister is coming for a visit next week. Hopefully i can post more pics inbetween then sometime!
