Hmmm...

STILL NO CAMERA

Camera Search 2008

MISSING:
I'm having some bad luck with cameras. About 2 months ago our digital camera broke. Just stopped working one day. If you're a mom you know that one just can't live without a camera to keep memories of their little one(s). So, we broke down and bought a new one.



IT'S MISSING!!!



I can't find it ANYWHERE! I don't know if I left it somewhere when we were out, or if just buried under the stacks of random stuff and clutter around my house. All I know is that my daughter is getting bigger every day and I am missing some really fantastic photo ops.



If you've seen it...give me a ring! ;)

Daddy's Shoes

This evening we were hanging out in the living room and decided that Samantha is going to be (is a) little daredevil. She crawls 90mph (well, that might be a tad exaggerated), she already loves to jump on the bed, she uses our dog Satchel as a stepping stool to get onto the couch, and she loves being thrown in the air, turned upside down, and all that other crazy stuff...keep in mind, she's still an INFANT!

I don't know, maybe that's normal. Anyhow, this evening when we were in the living room I would put Sam on the couch and she would just kind of jump off (into my arms). So, Ben and I decided that she would make a really awesome snowboarder. We also decided that she would be a professional snowboarder and once she starts getting sponsors we can quit our jobs and live off of our totally kick-butt snowboarder daughter. She does have red hair, now it's not quite as orange as Shaun White's (aka: The Flying Tomato) but it's definitely auburn so we think it works. She's gold-medal bound. Can we say, Winter Olympics 2018!

Now, daddy is the snowboarder in the family, I just kind of go along for the ride. It's funny, of course we don't expect Sam to be a pro snowboarder or anything, but she's just so amazing that I know she'll do something great with her life and whatever it is will be the most amazing fit. But for now, we'll let her fill daddy's shoes and let her be a mini-pro-boarder in our minds ;)

ps. Doesn't 'Sam Russell' just sound like a snowboarder name?..I'm just sayin'...
