Hunting Trees!

A couple weekends ago we went to our favorite tree farm to get our Christmas tree. It was a beautiful, though very cold, day. Jack had a lot of fun running through the trees and was great help in picking out the perfect tree for us. Merry Christmas!

Happy Halloween (A Little Late)

Pretty little princess. Notice our Halloween craft project in the background. Cheesecloth "goats".

The only picture of Jack in his costume, too bad it is not a good one.

Jack and Sam reading a book and yes that is a fake bug on Jack's pillow.

Sammy sleeping in between her boys watching a movie.

Jack was the headless horseman for Halloween and as usual he wouldn't hold still for a picture. But at least he did eventually stop crying about having his costume on. Sam was a princess. Her sleeves were a bit long and she enjoyed chewing on the silky fabric. Ryan is working a key event right now and going to school so we aren't seeing as much of him as we'd like. Hope you all are having a wonderful Fall.

Another warm day here in western Washington, the kids are nakey, keeping cool. Jack is really into being naked. He will run through the house after his bath yelling, "Naked, naked, naked!!!"

Sam on the other hand has found her feet and she likes them!

Growing like a weed and other stuff...

Alright everyone, here are a few pictures of Samantha and Jack. Sam is doing great, growing so fast. Jack has discovered the power of sentences and is expanding his vocabulary everyday.
