Sam, Jessica & Skyla



A few weeks back I visited Cleveland and got to spend some time with my mom. We had a great time! On the Saturday we drove out to Sam's new house and spent the day with him and Jessica and her darling daughter Skyla. They live out in nature, atop 30 acres of land, pretty incredible. They are fairly close to Amish country and while driving up to Sam's house we saw a few horse drawn carridges. Sam has a fireplace in his house, and we had a toasty night of telling stories, dancing to Elmo's songs, and eating cookies. The next day Jessica had a great idea to go out on a hayride at one of the nearby farms. We fed the goats, picked pumpkins and all around had a fabulous day. The picture here, is of Sam, Jessica and Skyla playing in a huge pit of dried corn at the farm. The other picture is of Skyla with her special stuffed animal (reminded me of my own attachment to my teddy bear). Really happy to have Jessica and Skyla as part of the family.

Skyla is adorable...thanks for posting the pictures. Sam's place sounds like a dream. I was particularly envious of the fire on a fall evening. I love the sun, but miss the fall weather, too. Sounds like a great visit to Cleveland!
