Seven years ago this day, at 11:30pm–just in time to take the tax deduction, Samuel Isaac came into our lives. And true to the meaning of his name, Sammy has been a God-given gift to us, and brings a lot of laughter into our lives. He’s taught us patience and showed us that with hard…

Storm Trooper and Droid reminding me that Christmas is over and demanding that I get off Facebook and Twitter for a bit. Normally I’d be able to take them both out, but…..1. They are right.

Pics and pic names completely plagiarized from JoAnn and her version of the story. The night before last, our fun-loving and quite large snow-woman had a bit of an accident in the middle of the night.
