Noah Baker AKA Superman

Pretty sure Sam's Superman costume a few years back was the best purchase...EVER.

Looks like there really-really-REALLY (in the super near future, within 2010/2011) will be an oral PILL to swallow rather than these nasty intramuscular injections!!!

Fa la la laaaa

Bath...check. Brush teeth...check. Story....check. Tucked in...check. Good night guys, love you, see you in the morning! Except that Noah Baker has one last request; just a little Itsy Bitsy before he goes to sleep, just one more time.

When Sam was a baby & until somewhat recently, the song of choice always was Silent Night, I have no idea why. More than likely since it was the only song I knew all the words to, it's one of my favorite songs, and he was born right around the time I always get fired up with Christmas spirit!

Of course there are others, but these three songs are staples in this mommy's singing repertoire.  Now, all three kiddos know each song by heart.

Sam's song:

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, all is bright.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.



Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born.



Silent night, holy night!

Son of God love's pure light.

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Madeline's song:

Blackbird -Beatles

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise


Black bird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

all your life

you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night.


Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

Into the light the dark black night.


Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly


All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
 
 
Noah Baker's song:



The Itsy Bitsy Spider  (ALL the verses!)

The itsy bitsy spider


Climbed up the waterspout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sun

And dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the spout again



The itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the kitchen wall

Swoosh! went the fan

And made the spider fall

Off went the fan

No longer did it blow

So the itsy bitsy spider

Back up the wall did go



The itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the yellow pail

In came a mouse

And flicked her with his tail

Down fell the spider

The mouse ran out the door

Then the itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the pail once more



The itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the rockin' chair

Up jumped a cat

And knocked her in the air

Down plopped the cat

And when he was asleep

The itsy bitsy spider

Back up the chair did creep



The itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the maple tree

She slipped on some dew

And landed next to me

Out came the sun

And when the tree was dry

The itsy bitsy spider

Gave it one more try



The itsy bitsy spider (My favorite verse, who knew Itsy Bitsy had such a marvelous outcome?!)

Climbed up without a stop

She spun a silky web

Right at the very top

She wove and she spun

And when her web was done

The itsy bitsy spider

Rested in the sun

According to S.F.

Sam wrote his life story earlier this school year...last day @ EFE was Friday...I officially am a mom of a 3rd grader, 1st grader & Preschooler!



Samuel Matthew Ferguson


Hello! My name is Sam and this is my life story: I was born in Kansas City on October 30th 2001. My parent's name's are Rob and Amy. When I was born, I had to get a needle through my head. A few years later, I peed in my mom's ear!


I am 7 years old now and trouble is stirring. Madeline has arrived! A 7 year old boy should not have to handle this. Noah also has come, and trust me there are no brothers or sister like them! I know they are up to something when they smile. I have to suffer the pain they have for me! Trust me you do NOT want to find out what they do to me. I cannot stand how they beat me up and I can't even do anything back!


At last, I am 8 years old, and I have a new weapon.... my EVIL SINISTER LAUGH! MmmwwwhaaahahahahaHA. But, here are some names I am known by: Sammer Ferguerburger, Sam The Madman, Sam-n-beans, and Sabertooth.  My sister has been really evil ever since my 8th birthday.


Well it's almost the end of second grade, and I'm ready for 3rd grade!!!

Zoo, bikes, and "Pink Sparkley Kittens"...


Madeline's soccer team: 'The Pink Sparkley Kittens'
Take just a minute. Re-read that. Yep. It's true. These 5 & 6 year old girls threw out a few of their favorite things...and before we knew it, the team name was simply, "The Pink Sparkley Kittens".  Hey, they love pink, sparkley things, and kittens of course!
We had a great weekend! Hard to believe though that I took this picture today/May 16th...the kids had to have jackets on?! Crazy Show-Me-State weather.  I'm not complaining though, it will be humid and miserable soon enough!
Last but not least....the ZOO trip! We had beautiful weather, and with 86 Kindergarten kiddos they all did great, the day was a huge success.  These little monkeys did NOT want to go home...

Gee-whiz, I feel pooped!

Upper GI Endoscopy and Lower GI Colonoscopy-Sigmoidoscopy=FUN!
If given the choice between this...
and this...well clearly, who wouldn't have chosen this?!
Clear liquids, and lots and lots of time...
Sooooo excited, I kept saying-let's DO THIS!
My nurses were all really great, loving, full of smiles even as the day wore on and things weren't going as smoothly as planned. My main RN today was the lovely RN that sat with me last year (room 11, same day surgery, she remembered me right away) when we lost the baby, it was nice to see her again-this time when I was more 'myself'.
Next thing I knew, the Upper GI was done.  Just waiting to do the Lower GI...then there was a really fun hour with FOUR enemas....ewwwwwww.
Alas when all was said and done, my fabulous nurse gave me my very own crown-sticker...for having the cleanest looking 'stuff' in all the land (she made one for herself as well, after all she is the enema queen).
The Dr. came over and said, "Hey guess what? No CX!" I smiled, and then gave him two thumbs up.
