I've finally started actually scrapbooking with my computer, not just doing cards or announcements! =) Rob got some great pictures of Samantha on the swingset this week. She's learning how to get on the swings and make them move. Seriously, you blink and they grow up. What a delight she is in our home. We are incredibly blessed to have been chosen by God to be her parents.
Blessings,
Last weekend was our inaugural camping trip in the new trailer. What a blessing that trailer is and what a wonderful time we had. Bucks Lake was a new destination for us. We enjoyed camping with friends, kayaking on the lake, geocaching in the surrounding area and fishing with the kids. All in all, a wonderful weekend. Weather permitting, we hope to get out at least one more time.
Blessings,

It's the most wonderful time of the year here in our valley...it's air race time. Every year, planes from around the world descend upon our town for a week's worth of air racing. They are joined by the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels or the Canadian Snowbirds. This year, it was the Thunderbirds. I always get teary when they start to fly. I am so thankful for the men and women who sacrifice so much to defend our freedom!
The air race course takes the planes directly over our back yard. The kids love running ouside when they hear the sound of the engines. Earlier in the week, Samantha was a little unsure of the noise, but as the week has progressed, she's gotten very excited. Today, we were able to attend the air races at the airport. As you can see in the video, Samantha was excited and scared; nervous and elated all at the same time. She was so cute to watch. She literally squealed in delight and then would throw her hands over her head like she just couldn't stand it.
