Mr. Skydiving Sam . . .

For those of you thinking Sam has been missing in action, he has skydived into the center of Salt Lake City.

In all reality, he DID fly into Aspen, but he didn't jump out of a plane. And then we made our first roadtrip to Salt Lake City.

Sam has also acquired his first off-road vehicle . . .

Complete with rear suspension, inflatable fatty tires, and a locking front wheel option, the "Bob Revolution" has enabled Sam to enjoy his first experience at high altitude (not a lot of physical exertion sitting in the "Bob"). Acclimatizing here in Salt Lake City at 4,500 ft. above sea level before we head to Aspen (8,500 ft. above sea level) will allow Sam to exhibit uber-endurance without Infant EPO Blood Doping.

We prefer the natural route.

The Great Moving Experiment . . .

By early next week, we will be motoring our way out of California toward Colorado.

The Plan: 925 miles of open highway, a Subaru that overheats after an hour of driving (which we'll probably have to tow behind the rental truck), no money, an often-temperamental baby, bleary eyes, tired shoulders and aching backs, and hope for the future!


Luckily Sam doesn't seem to mind the forest of boxes that has sprung up in our apartment.

First Family Photos

So Becky lined us up for our first ever family photos . . . a few days apart.

And as you can tell, Sam didn't even try very hard (especially in our 1st attempt). This is what he thought of the whole "family photo" idea:

A Day in the Life . . . of Sam

NBA Playoffs 2007

Sam is super excited for his first NBA Playoffs . . . especially since his Utah Jazz are back in the hunt. Just look at his enthusiasm.

He didn't sleep at all last night in anticipation of this evening's game 1 match-up between his Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets.

GO JAZZ!

Adiós Sea Kayak . . .

Our bombproof, "sunrise-colored" ocean kayak is no longer with us. I SOLD it yesterday. As we move toward Colorado, I figured swapping the burly sea kayak for new skis made sense.

The downside to the transaction is that our best piece of apartment decor is now gone. And now Sam has nothing big and orange to stare at as he falls asleep. Sam and I both cried as we watched the kayak go.


But Sam will be happy once he sees the new K2 Comanche skis I purcahsed on REI.com with the kayak proceeds.


What a deal! WINTERY COLORADO HERE WE COME!
