Gift #222- Monkey Man Sam

I am not quite sure how Sam climbing the door frame qualifies as a gift, but I just had to post.  I did the same exact thing when I was a kid!  Weird huh?  Randall kids, does this look strangely familiar?

Gift #221- Macy and Sarah

Macy and Sarah trying on hats at the Exchange

Macy has always been a little bit reserved.  She did not speak her entire first year of preschool!  But she has made a little friend here and they are stuck together like glue.  They can get a little crazy, but I love seeing Macy being silly with her sweet little friend Sarah.

Every now and then, they let Sam in on the fun too!

Gift #220- Hank's Birthday

He is handsome and kind.  A really great guy.  He is clever and funny even though he doesn't try.  He likes popping his toes in the middle of the night and chewing his ice and that's just not right.  But he wrestles with Sam and tells Macy she's cuter.  He cheers for Jack on his bike and for Josh on his scooter.  We wouldn't trade him for all the gold on the earth.  We hope that he had the most wonderful birth(day).

So, it's definitely not my best work.  But I hope that it does the trick.  Happy Birthday Hank.  We love you most.

Gift #219- Sam's New Pet

So our little sugar glider was just a little more pet than we could handle.  He had a little bit of a biting habit and Sam was afraid of him, so it just wasn't going to work out.  We found him a great home with another sugar glider.  We were sad to see him go, but we knew that it was for the best.  We replaced Sam's little pet with a class guinea pig.  This little guy is super cuddly and lazy and EASY!  The kids can hold him all day long and he doesn't try to get away.  Sam named him Charlie and I think that he is a keeper.
