Does she even know we're gone?

I had a great moment yesterday when I came home to help put Sammie down for the evening - Grandma Gardner was playing with her on the computer. They were identifying all the body parts on baby brother while looking as his blog. So, Sammie knows very well where her brother's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose are.

She's been having a wonderful time with Grandma Gardner and it's such a good thing that we've been so blessed to have family this close to help during this time. Truly, we are where we are supposed to be.

I'm a big Sis Now

Our Little Girl is turning so BIG

Less than one week and Sam will be a big Sister (be sure and take our poll on Stacie's blog) She found an open bag of M&M's not sure if you can see but the chocolate is up in her eyebrows:)



About 5 o'clock she starts saying dada...She loves when dad comes home and plays with her while mom gets dinner

Happy Easter!!!

I know this post is a little late, but hope everyone enjoyed their Easter and that you remember the meaning of why we celebrate it. Also, hope that the Easter Bunny found everyone:)

This weekend was big for us, Sam learned to find eggs and put them in the basket, went off her medicine completely, and went to nursery at church for the first time. She didn't want to come home with us after playing with the kids and toys. Her teachers said her favorite time was singing time. Who would have guessed? She has only danced and loved music since she was around 4 months old.



Sam on Easter....I told you she is starting to copy and put her hands on her hips all the time.

Family Vacation

We decided to take one last family vacation just the 3 of us. So we packed up and headed to Joplin, Missouri, which is about 2 hrs from our house. It was nice and relaxing. Here are some pictures from our trip.

1st time swimming in a big pool:)







One of the attractions of Joplin. The 25 foot falls.
