Happy Birthday Samantha!

It's still hard for us to believe, but Samantha's 2nd birthday was October 11. It was a beautiful fall day, and we had a lot of fun celebrating with friends and family.

For her birthday, we gave her a new play kitchen (note: play kitchen = 4+ hours of assembly on a Friday night...). The look on her face when she walked into the room and saw it that morning was pretty priceless, and we are now the fortunate recipients of many a cup of tea or plate of eggs prepared special by Sam from her new kitchen.

Husky Fan

Sammy made it to her first UW Husky Football game of the season a few weeks ago, when UW took on USC. We had no idea how she'd like it, and thought it'd be a good game to take her to as it'd probably be fine to leave at halftime. Little did we know that the game would be so good, or that Sammy would like it so much! When given the option to head home with Mama on the bus at halftime, or stay for the football game, she chose the latter. By the 3rd quarter, she was high-fiving with the fans behind us, and cheering and clapping her hands.

Needless to say, she's clearly a good luck charm, and will be joining us again when the Huskies take on the Ducks this weekend! Here are a couple pictures from the game...
