LET'S GO MUSTANGS!!!

Per Samantha she told us it "very fun and she wants to go there until she is 10 years old. The playground is so fun because there is a house there but no door both a big house and tiny house. And that is all."

 Check out how much we both have grown since last year!

Sammy's Dance Recital Rehearsal!

It's funny how we let time speed by with nary a mention of our little up-and-coming dancer. Enjoy the video...

I can read with a cat, I can read ALL THAT!

I can haz green eggz and ham.

Tonight Sammy J read the entire story Green Eggs and Ham by herself! It's too bad Mommy had to volunteer for the local art show tonight...of all nights to miss story time!

Quick catch up

Hello Everyone, life is starting to return to normal now with my surgery six week behind us and feeling more energy and normalcy. Here a few photos to share

 Samantha wrote a note to us!! 

 "Mommy, take a picture of me please!"

 Somehow she looks older!

 Being silly!

Oh my word we are are still alive and well

It has been a hectic couple of months. I am recovering from surgery, totally unexpected, and it is a long recovery but I know I will feel 100% by next month. Next week I go back for another check up and know it will all be good.
So let's get down to business......Samantha is becoming her own person, her cousins Jack and Andrea arrived from Boston to get her, her first bike. She is coming along nicely on it and loves to bike with her "boyfriend" Luke that means friend that is a boy to Samantha.  She is reading now and loves to write cursive letters she can even write her full name in cursive and I know I should be now be taking lessons from her.  Funny she is all too happy to tell me how to do things as well.
So here is Samantha's last few months in photos!!
