When Olivia was a few years younger, about 3 years old, she thought that children were called "honey's." She would play with her toys and tell me how "this is the mommy and these are her honey's." Olivia was always coming up with her own explanations for things. So these are my Honey's and I must admit that I think they are pretty sweet. They bring me so much joy each day. They make me smile, they melt my heart, and they can make me angry too...in a motherly sort of way.
We had a wonderful time visiting my parents during Spring Break. The girls love visiting grandparents and are always sad to go. Olivia often tells me how she wishes we lived closer to one of her grandparents. "I just want to be by all the people that I love," she has said to me before. We're glad that we get to see them as often as we do...and that they come to see us too. We love visitors!
So Sammie. Cute and silly.

This is how Sammie wanted us to sing her birthday song to her. She is "the funny one" in the family. She's always trying to make us laugh as she herself will roll over in laughter at anything remotely funny. She definitely sees the humor in life and she is such a bright spot in our home and getting to be such a big girl. 
We actaully celebrated last night because Joey is busy tonight so she is sort of having a birthday weekend because we also went out to dinner on Saturday night. She loved all of her presents, but especially her scooter, which has a special place for "Barbie" to ride along. A little weird, but she's 4 and thinks it's "awesome." She loves the word "awesome" and Sammie is pretty much just awesome.
