Here's a video of Samuel enjoying his mini cymbals. Look out Gene Krupa!
And More Pictures of OUR NEPHEW...
On Christmas Eve we took a little adventure in the park: Dan on cross-country skies, while Rachel and Jon were on snowshoes.

Back to the cinema. Not only is Samuel a talented percussionist, he's also an expert fisherman. Look at that dexterity!
Later in the day we checked out Dartmouth College's campus in nearby Hanover, NH. This cafe is called Umplebee's
On Christmas day Rachel and Jon went downhill skiing at Suicide Six, which is only a 10-minute drive from Dan and Maria's house!
Here's a two-minute video of Jon skiing with Rachel filming. About halfway through the video you'll see a shadow -- that's Rachel! The video was too long to upload here, so I put it on YouTube(note: under the time stamp there's a link, "watch in high quality." Click on that for a little more clarity)
After we returned from skiing all of us went for a walk into the village.
Later in the evening we cracked open a little Monopoly. Jon's financial acumen made it an easy victory for him.
And finally the morning Jon and Rachel left.
We had a wonderful time as you can see. The only hiccup was that we were stranded in Cincinnati on Friday night due to the poor weather in Chicago.
