We had a busy week with Samantha's first trip to the beach. We visited Ft. Myers Beach. FL to celebrate the wedding of Grammy (Tina) O'Leary to Doug (Papa Bear) Bean. It was so nice to see family and we got to hang out for a few days together. Samantha met Uncle Jim and Aunt Paula and Joanie for the first time, and loved hanging with Aunt Cori and Uncle Brian. It was sometimes a bit much for her but she was a really trooper going all day and seeing a lot of people... all while managing the stifling heat. The wedding was beautiful and it was nice meeting Doug's side of the family. It was quite a different beach vacation with an infant - not quite as relaxing but fun in a different way. And i got my raw oysters! Yipee!
Here are some wedding pics:
The family: Kristi, Nick, Sam, Tina, Doug, Cori, Brian, Aunt Paula and Uncle Jim
The crazy ladies of the family.
How sweet... Samantha was starting to fade here. 
Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Bean.....Here's Sam and me before the wedding.
As for the rest of our ongoings, Samantha continues to grow and learn more every day. While on vacation, Samantha learned a new sound and thankfully chose not to express herself on the plane ride home. Check out the video!
We had a new babysitter start this week and Samantha seems to love Ms. Scherree. We laugh because Scherree has a little daily plan for Sam that charts the books she read, songs sung, diapers made, naps had, etc. It makes me laugh but is really helpful. It has alleviated a lot of stress for me as I've been working some from home and some at the office.
We're looking forward to a long weekend to relax and watch the Flyers first game in the Stanley Cup finals. Can't wait to actually be able to watch it since it's been on a channel we don't get. We've been forced to watch the game at our friend's Lynn and Mark's in exchange for pizza. Not a bad sacrifice! Ashame he was a Canadian's fan. Sorry Mark.

Hopefully my creative side will come out for my next post... this was a pretty factual post without much fluff. It's been one of those weeks!
Ahh what a day! Time for bed.
Check back soon!

Glad y'all had a nice trip! Hard to believe she's already 5 months.
