valentines dance

requesting showers every night of the week +
brushing our teeth and wishing for white strips +
clean jeans and new shirt +
teddy bear = valentines dance.

i escorted sammy and his best friend, jimmy to the elementary dance last night. i was, of course, instructed to stay out of their way...and to not make a fuss. actually, i hardly saw them at all. too busy trolling the school hallways after 4th...and 5th grade girls.

none of them good enough for my sammerjam. :)

(last shot...sam is sitting at a table across from 3 “hot” girls. yes, i was fussing.)

i can’t look at this photo without smiling. nobody makes olivia laugh like sam. and vice versa i think.

13 weeks

at brenda’s party last saturday afternoon. we saw other puppies that were the same age as summer was when we got her. it’s hard to believe how much she has grown. and how much she puts into her mouth. (thanks sally, for the picture!)

merry

hope you had one.
more christmas goodness to share, i promise.
xoxo.

the box

we keep some of the kid’s artwork and photos
in our christmas boxes up in the attic.
so every year, we get to go through...as sam like to call it...our “old days.”
this is one of my favorites.
