September Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello everyone. Hope you are enjoying fall. I had a great September. We went up to the cabin over Labor Day weekend. Grandpa Pat came with us which was super fun. We went to the Mountain Man Rendezvous and got to see lots of cool things!

I am very much a one year old. I love to help my brothers with anything that they forget to leave out. Eric's homework is so easy!! 

I love to play outside. I have a slide and a trampoline that I love to play on. I also LOVE puddles! I like to put my face in them and come in dripping.

I made a great discovery this month. Belly Buttons are so cool!! Sometimes when I am playing I'll just stop what I am doing to check that my belly button is still there.

I get to go on lots of dates with mom and dad, usually worked around soccer practices. It's fun!

Dad, mom, Eric and I went up to the cabin towards the end of the month to see the changing colors. I loved it. I loved walking on the leaves and hearing them crunch. It was beautiful up there.

I am growing well and learning new things every day. I have a strong personality and want my way often. But I am also a very good boy. I clean up all my toys when asked and am a very good listener.

I hope you are all doing well.

Love Sam Wade Barnhisel

August Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hi everyone! I hope you are all enjoying summer. We have been up to our cabin a couple times this months and I LOVE IT UP THERE! I have claimed ownership over all three of my brothers dump trucks and love to play in them and push them around. I love to throw rocks and continue to baffle my parents as to whether I am right handed or left handed because I trade off and throw equally well with each. My favorite thing to do is to drive the 4-wheelers. I have learned a new word thanks to the cabin. "Ot" (hot) which I say very sternly at the fire. I like to throw things in the fire: sticks, rocks, etc even though it's "Ot!"

My brothers started school this month. They leave early in the morning and mom and I hang out at home or go out and try to find some adventures. I love the park, especially the swings!! I miss my brothers but it's ok. I just spend the day playing toys and then when my brothers get home we all get crazy together!

I hope that you are all doing well. 

Love Sam Wade Barnhisel
