Sam at 15 months

Oh Sammy, she is so smart, fun, adventurous and active!  She loves her brothers and loves being held by us, while still wanting to be very independent.  She has a mind of her own and is very stubborn when she wants things a certain way.  She's started talking more and more but it's mostly just babbling.  We love her.

1st day of school in N.C.

Aiden started kindergarten this year!  I cried.  He didn't but I did.  It just hit me that his days of nothing to do all day, everyday all year long were over and the new phase of school was starting.  We have another younger child but Aiden will always be my baby, for some reason.
Patrick started 2nd grade and he's started to look so grown up!  He's becoming more and more independent, he takes care of his younger siblings and I'm just so proud of him.  Both boys had awesome teachers in N.C. and I was really grateful for that.  Aiden's teacher had soo much energy and was so fun with all the kids and it made for a great introduction for him into school.
