Samuel Reading a Poem

The poem is titled "Regurgitate". It's not a Samuel original, but something he had to read for school. The context of the poem is a young penguin speaking to his dad.

Regurgitate
It's been one whole hour since I ate.
Why is my dinner always late?
While you and Mom procrastinate,
I might become a featherweight.
You know what I'd appreciate?
Cough it up Dad! Regurgitate!

Josiah the Worker Guy

Josiah has a lot of respect for the blue collar worker. Any time he sees a city worker, carpenter, trash collector, or anyone wearing a Carhartt jacket he points out to us, "Mommy & Daddy look, a worker guy!". On this beautiful March day Josiah helped me cut down some large branches from the tree next to our house. Here are some pics of him next to the branches and setting up 'safety cones'. For some reason Cari didn't get any pics of me going up on a ladder and cutting down the branches, but I swear I actually did some 'worker guy' work.

PS: My favorite pic is the one where it looks like he is using the chainsaw as a guitar.
