uncle sam

Samantha got to meet her Uncle (and godfather) Sam last week!

Not only do they have very similar names...

...they have very similar haircuts, even with parts on the very same side. :)

These two peas in a pod also share a love for watching the Packers (win, preferably) with their beverage of choice:

As you can tell, they really hit it off.

With my mom and Sam here for the week, we had lots of adventures, including a trip down to Palo Alto to scope out the Stanford Business School campus.

Sam was all about fulfilling his uncle/godfather duties manning the helm of Samantha's stroller whenever possible.

When we checked out the student housing, the woman at the front commented:

"This housing is very popular, but our family housing on the other side of campus is also quite nice," as she smiled at Sam and I and the little bundle tucked away in our stroller.

We just smiled back.  

Our photo-taking on University Ave probably didn't give passerby-ers any other idea either. :)

Sam also fulfilled some domestic duties at home in the kitchen, whipping up some delicious Parmesan Chicken a la Ina Garten...

...as well as some succulent skirt steak for our Packers (and US Open :) party.

Which we enjoyed with some delicious and healthy sides thanks to my mom extraordinaire. 

Samantha, Stefan and I were all very sad to see them go.  

Come back soon!
