Sam’s Story: Week 85

Sorry, I don’t really have anything to write about this week. Sam has been up in St. Louis visiting Ger’s parents since last week, so all I’ve got are these pictures of her playing with “walk chalk” in the back yard. She totally loved the stuff, even though she can’t do much with it except make chicken scratches right now. But she had fun discovering that you couldn’t use it to mark on the grass or Daddy.

I’ve actually been thinking lately about when will be the appropriate time to stop doing these weekly updates, or at least shift the focus from Sam to my thoughts and experiences as a parent. Eventually, it’ll start to intrude on Sam’s privacy and she’ll launch some counter-blog effort that will tell the world all my worst secrets. Maybe she’s already started. I think that day is still a ways off, though, and I can content myself with creating archives of stories that her friends and enemies can dig up with their futuristic Internet search tools.
