September already?

Samuel Thanh is almost 2.5 years old! We have had a busy few months! Here is a quick recap of what our little family has been up to so far:
- in March 2007 we took a family trip to Europe. After much passport hassle (Samuel's passport was lost in the mail, which we found out the day we were suppose to fly out) we were able to leave for our trip. We visited London, took the chunnel train to Paris, then rented a car and visited Normandy and the French countryside. Beautiful and fun! Samuel is a great traveller and had so much fun visiting with his Parisian relatives.
- in April 2007 he had his second birthday! Can you believe it's been two years already?
- in June 2007 he attended the commencement ceremony for Di Michelle's graduation from the UW Jackson School of Business
- at the end of June 2007 right before the fourth of July we took our first family camping trip to Moran State Park on Orcas Island. Samuel had so much fun, he loved camping and was a great little hiker
He loves the english alphabet and can recognize almost all the letters and tell you what sounds they make. He can count to 20 in vietnamese and to 6 in English (to 10 with help). He's talking more and more these days, although he's not a chatterbox by any means!
His new physical feats include jumping, riding a tricyle, doing forward somersaults, doing donkey jumps, and trying to stand on his hands unassisted. He loves to help, whether it's gardening, cooking, or working on the motorcycle, he's right there with the correct and appropriate tool in hand. We're looking forward to how much more he can teach and astound us!
