Naked Samuel


If you look back at Tad's naked baby pics you will find a striking resemblance! Of course Samuel has a totally different personality and often does not seem to look anything like his big brother, but we are still being careful to label photos :)

Helping Dad in the Yard

The kid would seriously do anything to be outside...hopefully we'll be able to use that to our advantage later

Play Date with the Ostrom Girls

Tad LOVES being outside...especially when water is involved. He definitely had a swim diaper tan at the end of the day...haha!
Tad trying his luck with Julia who is not too excited about being hugged


Samuel - 3 months old


Anna (3 weeks) and Samuel meet...pretty sure it was love at first sight

Our Little Reader


It's so fun to see Tad's interest in books...makes having a couple dozen children's books stuck in my head well worth it!


I often find Tad sitting or laying on his bed "reading" out loud, using his mysterious baby language of course :)

Napping with Grandad


Grandad Piper stopped by on a bike ride and discovered a very fussy Tadeus. He told his grandson that he could take a nap with him if he wanted to, so without hesitation Tad grabbed his blanket, climbed up on to Grandad's lap and fell asleep. If you know my dad and my son you know that this situation is quite unusual for both of them, which is probably why it was so incredibly sweet!

Tadeus and Samuel Meet



Tad was great with Sam! We told him to be gentle and he responded by petting him just like he does with our dog, Peja :)

The Oppenhuizen Boys



It didn't take long for Tad to figure out that the basinet moved...we took several laps around the postpartum floor
