Cradler

This was Samantha's cradle when she was a baby. It's in our room right now because we are running out of room in our house-2 kids really take up a lot of space-sheesh!
Cole rarely gets a chance to lay in it because it has now become Samantha's lounge. She likes to get all settled, blankie and baby a must, and watches Elmo. It is pretty hilarious.

Thanks Nana

Well, Nana went home yesterday. We had such a fun visit...even if we were just sick and miserable (at least we were miserable together:) We had fun painting, making neclaces, shopping, playing dress up, playing school and just hanging out.

All the way home from the airport Sammie kept saying, "I miss my Nana". Then later in the afternoon she was playing in her room by herself and I heard her talking to Nana! Probably on her princess cell phone.

Thanks for coming out Nana-we love you and miss you! Samantha is already talking about her trip to Virginia:)

Chub-A-Lub

Cole's new nickname...you see why.
I think he actually has 4 cheeks-and we love it!

Happy Birthday Nana

Today was Nana's birthday so Samantha helped me make a cake and we had a little party. Of course the cake had to be Sammie's favorite...strawberry cake with strawberry frosting. It was a very pink celebration.
Happy Birthday Nana!

While Mom's away...

I was only gone an hour....Cole does not look too happy about this!
