Endings and Beginnings

This is our latest addition; a 6x6 sand box. Tim built it in a day, and the kids have been in it each day since. Besides having sand grains in the tub and sink, I (and they!) are loving their new hobby :)

Sammy is a Yankee!! We play the Reds on Tuesday. They don't keep score, so both teams win!

So proud!

Is this how you hold a bat?

Future prima ballerinas...

Uncle Phil and Auntie Danielle brought home another Chinese outfit, so no more fighting over the red one, which has been repaired by Great Grandma more than a few times!!

We had some friends over last night, and the kids were playing 'relays' in the backyard. It was so fun to see Gretta have a blast trying to run so fast. The pic above is from Grandpa Jer's 60th birthday bash.

Sam fell out of his chair at breakfast time & he almost ran into the wall at church (thanks Gampy for pointing out the wall to him!!). Despite these regular "mishaps", Sammy rocks when it comes to sports. He is outside right now playing catch with Dad!

During one of their last swim lessons, the instructor asked Sy if he was ready to do his "bobs" underwater. He replied, "Quack". Over a meal the other day he was happily singing out loud "boom shaka lak" and we all cracked up. He certainly has a fun (and funny) sense of humor!

Here is our nephew Grey. Amber and Bri are expecting another little boy shortly!

Yum, this is too good to put down, or look up.

Daddy was gone one evening, so we made a twenty minute trip just to pay $1 for chocolate custard. MMMM!

Though vanilla is this guys favorite, he chose chocolate today!

GG with the clan at church. Sam and Gretta are sporting their Samson braids.
