I would&#8217;ve loved to have a video camera rolling the entire time we were there to capture every memory, but that&#8217;s not really practical. \ud83d\ude42 In other news, Sam crawls EVERYWHERE and is into EVERYTHING. He pulls up with ease, and is quite proud of himself for it. He also learned to wave during our Houston trip and just charmed everyone to bits. The only thing missing from this holiday was our big boys, who were spending time with their Mom. In the spirit of the season, we truly are blessed and have SO MUCH to be thankful for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam hit the 7 month mark on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
