Uncle Sam

Sam came down to visit on Thursday. It was so good to see him, but seriously, it was one of our busiest days in weeks! I felt so bad, but he didn't seem to mind at all.

Here is what the schedule looked like for the day:

8:10am- Lauren's Parent Teacher Conference. We are so proud of Lauren for doing so well in school! She received straight A's for the first quarter!

8:40am- School Awards Assembly for Lauren.

Lauren accepting her Academic All Star Award

9:30am- School Awards Assembly for Jessica

Jessica Accepting her Academic All Star Award for Reading. She was also awarded a certificate for High Honor Roll (all A's and one B)

2:15pm- School Awards Assembly for Austin- My camera stopped working!!! Luckily my sister, Jen, was there and took the picture for me. I'll post it once she emails it to me. Austin also received a certificate for High Honor Roll.

3:15pm- Pick up the kids from school

4:15pm-5:30pm Lauren's soccer practice

6:15 to 7:30 Jessica's soccer practice

It was SO busy! My assistant had the day off, but I was so lucky Jason had taken half the day off work so he could hang out with Sam. I was making lasagna and realized I didn't have an onion and there was no time to load everyone up to run to the store. I called Jason who was out running around with Sam and they brought one home for me! Yeah! Later, Ashlyn was taking a nap when it was time for Lauren's soccer practice. Once again, it was Jason and Sam to the rescue! They were happy to go, but I felt bad having them run around for me. Sam said it was nice to feel like he had a purpose for the day. Sigh. I love him! Thanks Sam!

Ashlyn wasn't sure what to think of Sam at first. I think she was nervous because he is so big!! He's like 6'5" or something! Seriously, how tall is he? He was really cute with her though. I got this cute picture of him trying to win her over by reading a book to her. (She loves books!)

Jason, Ashlyn, and Sam

We were glad she got to spend some time getting to know her uncle Sam! We are so glad to have Sam back home. Jason missed him so much while he was gone.
