Los Flemings

Sam woke up this birthday morning to find Spiderman riding Sam's new bike in our living room! He (Sam not Spiderman) was jumping with joy.

On top of all the birthday excitement this is Sam's first day at school. He and I went yesterday for the open house and he had a good time exploring the new space. His new teachers are Ms. Liane and Ms. Kristal and he already made a new buddy with a Heartwood veteran named Henry.

The last few weeks have been pretty exciting with more projects getting settled in to our new house, Mame getting in to her new study routine and some time in the mountains with Grandma Maxine and Grandpa Glenn. There were lots of highlights to the mountain trip like jumping off the dock into the lake (repeatedly), exploring in the woods, cooking hotdogs and marshmallows over a fire and a visit to Uncle Jake's house in Greenville. But the best part for Sam was getting to ride home on the train. Mame drove home on Sunday and Sam and I stayed over until Friday when grandma and grandpa dropped us at the Amtrak station in Charlotte. About 3 hours later we got off just blocks away from our home here in Cary. Now we're plotting our next train destination...
