Great Falls, Paterson, New Jersey

Sam's first time seeing a waterfall.


Studying the inner workings of 19th-century steam engines.

First Thanksgiving

Sam wanted some Turkey too but instead got some rice cereal. He just started eating solid foods from a spoon a couple of days ago, and so far his only non-milk food is rice cereal.

We spent Thanksgiving with our family, Julia, Jake, Nikki, Galina, Vera and Yuri (as well as Vic, Elena and Sam)

My first red shiny sports convertible!

Sam: "I wonder how fast I can go from zero to sixty?"


Winter bear.

Hairy Situation

Sam is thinking about changing his hair style.

Should it be punk?


Or spikes?


Or retro?
