We had a great party yesterday at our home in Raleigh. We had a lot of folks come from all over to celebrate Sam's life. He even had two of his girlfriends come too.
We served NC BBQ and SC BBQ. SC BBQ is mustard-based and NC-style is vinegar-based. We had roasted sweet potatoes and red potatoes with parsley (for the kids too) and cole slaw with a veggie tray. It was delicious!
There were so many great photos. I'll try to describe each one and what is happening.

Looking forward to the sweetness.

You are going to LOVE LOVE the radio flyer wagon! Hugh's parents gave Laney one when we went to the beach. I love taking Laney on strolls before her bath in the evening. Love it!
I LOVE the pic, and the new layout. Maggie is sorry she missed the party - and I'm sad I missed the bar-b-q! We LOVE and MISS you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!!!
Sam,
I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday! Our email isn't up at the moment, so this was the best way to reach you! I do hope we can see you very soon!
Lots of love,
Erica & the Webels
Your blog looks great! Sam is looking healthy. I'm so glad he had a great birthday. I'm jealous of the pumpkin patch, though. How fun. We'll be celebrating fall with gourds again this year. :)
Blessings you guys.
Can I just say again what a beautiful family you are? I keep checking your blog, hoping for an update, and every time I see that pic of you guys and the pumpkin patch, I really want a print to frame on my fridge! We love you, and hope all is going well.
