Samantha

So - we've had a little girl that is growing up so quickly! She doesn't like to say much for words but certainly understands what is going on. We hear "Dora" MANY times in a day - more than "mom" & "dad" actually, but she loves Dora.

She's started to come into her own personality . . . some good, some not so good. All we know is very different from Brady - we scratch our heads somedays, wondering how 2 kids came from the same parents and can be so different! Guess that's why God gave her to us - to learn understanding :)

what we call our "hockey hair" picture

LOVES fudge muffins!

although - tuna noodle casserole is her ALLTIME favorite - look how well she wears it! :)

Brady's 1st try at ice skating

We found out a local arena does free skate time, so we took Brady over to see what he thought. We truly think he thought hockey players just ran really fast on the ice and found we were terrible at explaining what the skate looked like - so we went to see first hand. Brady had a blast - James and I had sore backs from hanging on!
