Just for you Mom

More of an update later, but just for now here is one photo. Friday morning before the move started Samantha learned how to climb into her rocking chair and rock all by herself. Even more importantly she learned how to get out without falling. Such a big girl! The chair has been in my family for a while, so I'm glad she really loves it!

Super Moon 2012

Saturday night as I'm sure most know there was a super moon. I went outside at 8:35 like the news said it would be but didn't see anything. It took almost another hour, but I could finally see it off the back deck. I wish I was in a dark area so it would have had a brighter glow, but it was still pretty cool.

Family Birthdays

Last Saturday we celebrated Regan's 5th Birthday, Eli's 13th, and Kara's 36th. Lots of food, family, and fun for all. Regan has the best expressions opening her presents.

Regan with her new "dancing swimsuit"... a leotard like the big girls have.

Eli's new Hawaiian Fishing Spear

and Pat's reaction to seeing the spear... it's 6 ft long

Gauge, how did you get in the baby crib? Josh! Such a little squealer!

Sam started booking it towards the plastic softball on the lawn. We told Gauge she liked to play with balls, so he brought her a few more... I'm pretty sure we have a picture of her holding each ball. That will come in handy later.

Our Classy Daughter

Just watch, with the volume UP, and pay attention at the 6 second mark. Yep, that's our daughters burp as she hugs her daddy... then proceeds to walk away. Nice Samantha!
