Here are a couple of pictures from the past week or so...Samantha is just growing like a weed and Bobby is doing well. We have entered the terrible threes with a vengance, but I just try to keep a smile on my face and remember that he is usually a terrific little boy!

Samantha has cut her first tooth! Which explains some of the crabbiness and lack of sleep that the two of us have been getting:) I'll try to get a picture when it is really in far enough to see!

My cowboy!

Smiles first thing in the morning.

A day at the park.

Earth Day 2010

Today is Earth Day, and my friend Sue (www.motherhoodandme.com), had the wonderful idea to throw an Earth Day party for the kids. She once again graciously opened her house and yard to all of the little ones for a day filled with fun. The instructions were to bring a pot, plant or seeds of some type, a lunch dish that incorporated what we were planting, and of course extra clothes. The goal was to teach the kids about the planet, where the foods they eat come from, and the impact that each of us have on the planet. I'm not sure how much the kids retained from the experience, but I do know that they had a blast...playing outside for 4+ hours! Thank you again Sue, for letting us invade and I hope to be able to continue teaching my little ones what you started today!!

And just some good old fun

Growing so fast

Samantha is growing so quickly these days, that it seems like she learns something new daily! Her smiles and giggles are becoming more and more frequent, and it just lights up her entire face when she does either of them. Every day she seems to notice more and more of the great big world around her, and I think that we each fall a little more in love with her on each passing day. I am trying to cherish each moment, but sometimes we get so busy and caught up that I don't even have a chance to get all the pictures that I want.



She may hate me for these one day....but I just couldn't resist!

A long overdue post...they all seem to be lately!

Well, between technical difficulties with my computer and a chronic inability to complete any task that requires more than five minutes of my attention....this post is WAY overdue. But here is our Easter, or what I caught of it on camera. Another issue that I seem to be having...remembering to have the camera ready and handy:) So enjoy...more posts to come, I hope!

The egg dying adventure...which he was only interested in for about five minutes:)



The neighborhood Easter egg hunt


The Easter Bunny has landed

Mummu the football star!

Here are some pics that I just got downloaded to go along with the Wilmington visit of Mummu and Bobby playing a little football.

Papa's shadow

As I said, we just got back from Wilmington and Bobby was of course Papa's little helper and shadow. Dad is building an outdoor shower for all of us this summer! It will be so nice to be able to wash the kids off BEFORE they track all the sand and dirt throughout the house. So Bobby was Dad's assistant all week. Right now, Bobby thinks that it is a fort and just another place to play:)

Tutu time

We spent the last week and a half in Wilmington visiting family and friends, and introducing Samantha to everyone. But while we were there I decided to convince my mom to try and make tutus! They turned out really cute although Samantha wasn't sure what to make of them:) So while I had the props made, we had another photo shoot, enjoy!
