I have failed to report on the exciting trip I got to take to Utah last month. My Dad called me one night, asking if he could fly me and Samuel to Utah for my Mom's birthday present. So I happily agreed and we flew out the next day (her birthday)! We really surprised her. Dad took her out to dinner as I was arriving. When they got home, everyone was waiting in the living room, and Mom was especially happy to see that Andrew and Ariel were there from Provo for her party. Mom immediately approached Ariel so she could hold little Abraham. What she didn't know is -- we had made a Baby Switch. She looked at sweet Abraham and smiled, saying, "Hello... baby... (still smiling)... wait a second... something's not right here..." At this point I emerged from the kitchen holding the real Abraham, and she realized that Ariel was holding California Samuel! She was so surprised and so happy! What a great idea, Dad!
I'm so glad Samuel got to spend time with his long-lost cousin, who is 6 weeks his senior.

Tummy Time! Sammy left, Hammy right
I got to go on an outing to Logan for a few hours while my sister Julia had a cello lesson there. I tried to call some old friends to visit but couldn't reach anyone on such short notice. So Samuel, Thomas, and I hung out at beautiful First Dam. Thomas is getting SO TALL!
Being with Thomas is always a highlight. Here's what he does when he wants a peanut butter sandwich. What a symmetrical fellow!
Utah's October Sky was breathtaking. Much different from our view in Los Angeles.
It was a great trip. Very short. But we'll be back for Thanksgiving this year.

Samuel is now three months old. Time is flying and to my horror, I realize that I am taking less and less pictures! But we caught a few good ones around Halloween...
My sweat pea and my lovely new glider.
Can he get his fist and the pea in his mouth?
Don't put it past him.
Don't put it past him.
Getting tired...
Tuckered out.
