Sweet Siblings

These two have the sweetest bond. Sami gets lots of attention from Aaron. He loves her and is big into playing with her and keeping her entertained, which has proved quite helpful to me! :) Sami is unbelievably sweet -- we all ADORE her. She is the princess of the house, and rightfully so! I seriously don't think she could get any sweeter :) What a blessing she has been to our family, she has reminded us of what truly matters. I mean, look at that face! :)

Nina Visits!

We had a wonderful visit with Nina Mathis. She was here for about a week, arriving on Mike's birthday. The boys were in heaven! She treated us to a scrumptious dinner at a Thai restaurant for Mike's birthday and purchased donuts from our favorite donut shop for his donut cake, a family tradition (so we eat donuts about four times a year) :o). She helped with shuttling the boys to and from school. We also went bowling while she was here, she took the boys swimming, and she and Mike took the boys to a movie one afternoon. They also went bike riding a lot! We had a great visit. Come again!! Thanks, Nina, for all of your help! We loved having you!
