Isaac and Eva after their encounter with the "frinkler" Good buddies!!
Wanna race, anyone? Sam and Leah, did you coordinate your outfits?
The "girls"--all grown up. We're just missing Krista and Jenn, oh, and Eva. Our family is heavy on girls...but the boys may be making a comeback. :)
Grandma and her siblings from Minnesota.
More girls...
Good deals always thrill me. This one was no exception. We bought Samuel a new bedroom! A friend of mine was selling her son's bedroom furniture and bedding and gave us 1st dibs to buy it. The furniture is in great shape, good quality--solid and sturdy dark oak, and was a great price! The bedding is adorable--very boyish.
Samuel stayed up till 10:30 waiting excited for Daddy to finish assembling everything. He has slept 2 nights in his new bed and hasn't fallen out or had to climb in bed with us. He kept saying..."New bed, new bed!" "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Mommy!" Wish I would've gotten it on video.
Thanks to Daddy, who was a good sport about putting the bunk beds together.
