Sam's buddy, Uncle Darin

As we were waiting to get off the plane I told Daisy that once we got off we would get our bags, and then Uncle Joe would pick us up and we would go to Uncle Joe's house. (Just keeping it simple, I know Jen and Sam and Doc and Schatzi live there too. And Tancie for now.) Daisy definitely got that into her head, and for the next 20 minutes all we heard was "Unc Joe's [long pause] house?"

When Joe did pick us up we piled in and then headed to pick Sam up from daycare. With the carseats on either side, I sat in the back middle. (Anyone remember the dirty word we used for this spot in college? How about the positions of Sam & Daisy?) All was fine and dandy with Sam being picked up early until he saw me in the backseat and whoa, nelly. The kid was not happy with me one bit. Sam screamed nearly all the way home, and when he would calm down all he had to do was glance my direction and away he'd wail again.

I wasn't going to push it.

So Sam wasn't a big fan of me, but he did sure love Uncle Darin. They were buddies from the start.

So since Mr Sam didn't want to play with me, I decided to play with my camera. Oh wow, do the Kaufman's ever have good light upstairs. So so jealous.

 

SOOC (straight out of the camera). Look at those big brown eyes.

By the end of the day, Sam still wasn't so sure about me. But he did let me hold him long enough for his mama to capture a quick picture.
