the delightful month of June

June was a very busy but fun month!
-Samantha had a skating party
-Ian turned 13 (we now officially have 3 teenagers - YIKES!)
-We celebrated the 3rd annual wine fest

Good times, people, good times...

Siblings!

Happy 10th Birthday...

...to the most wonderful girl in the world!!! Ten things I love about Samantha - one thing for each year:
-her awesome sense of humor
-her determination
-her kind heartedness towards her friends
-the way she tells me "Mom, you're my best friend!"
-her beautiful brown eyes
-her imagination
-the way she still wants to cuddle with me all the time
-her funny laugh
-the way she still loves her Blankie and Doggie SO much
-and mostly...the fact that she is here and healthy after so many scares during pregnancy and the first 2 years of her life!!
