August Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello hello!! Hope you all had a great August! Ours was great but HOT!!! We need rain!! But I did lots of fun things. My aunt Jenny picked me up one Saturday and took me and my cousins to a little farm where we got to see bunnies and lamas and all kinds of cool animals. I love playing with Owen, Emma, Eden and Mila.

My brothers started school towards the end of the month and I started my re-acclamation to life at home without my brothers to entertain me. Good thing I have my puppy Chowder. He and I are best buddies although I am not sure that he would agree with how much I pester him. But someday... 

The best thing about this month is that we GOT GRASS in our backyard! One year to the day we bought the house, the sod went in! I LOVE having grass to run and play on. It's so awesome. We had lots of friends come and help us put down the sod and "Guy" and "Aunt Whitney" brought over their soft serve ice cream machine so we all got to eat so much ice cream once we got the work done.  

Mom and her friends work out in the mornings, usually in the driveway so I get to play with all my friends. We love to play on the dirt ramp by our house. It's super fun. I am not great at sharing my toys, definitely something I need to work on. 

My vocabulary has increased a TON. I start back with school (speech therapy classes) next month to help me with some of my sounds which will be fun. Other then that, mom and Chowder and I hang out at home most of the time, just playing and enjoying the backyard. Mom is literally in heaven with grass and trees and placed to plant flowers in the backyard. She's a bit obsessed actually but I don't blame her. It is really great to have such a beautiful place to play. 

I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to see you all next time you are in the area and show you my super cool tricks I can do on the tramp.

Love Sam Wade Barnhisel
