Time Flies!

A blog posting is so long overdue here that it's hard to even know what to say. Sammy seems to grow up before our eyes every single day, let alone in the months it's been since we last posted!

Let's see -- a few developments with Sam, and our family, in the past few months:

• Sam's vocab continues to explode. She tries to repeat most everything we say, and even mixes in little phrases like "this way Dada" or "Sam all done."
• Her hair continues to grow, in curls. We still aren't really sure where these curls came from...a few pictures below show the latest 'do (and yes, we're still having her bangs professionally cut).
• Going on a walk with Sam has taken on a whole new meaning. She's far more interested in doing the walking herself now, which means lots of detours, frequent stops to pick up rocks, and usually about double or triple the time to get to the store!
• And, Sammy may not fully understand it yet, but she's going to be a big sister! Our due date is November 22. We are very excited!

Here are a few random photos of Sammy from the past few months...
