Sick.Girl

Samantha has been fighting a cold for a few days and started crying inconsolably yesterday and in the middle of the night last night. When I took her and her baby to the doctor today, she was SO good! She managed to stay strong for her baby and not cry until the doctor had to scrape her ear so she could see inside. And she calmed down much quicker than normal, too. She has an ear infection in one ear, so started meds today to help it clear up. We have been lucky, so far, to have kept the flu out of our house.

Road Kill

Samantha and her baby

Trial day for potty training. Three accidents, no success. Maybe next time.

5k

My mom is going to kill me for posting this picture, but it's not the best picture of either of us, so that's my defense. This is the BEFORE shot. I don't know if I will post an 'after' shot until we are closer to the end of our training. We joined a running group (started last week) for the very beginner training for a 5k. I realize that I have done the 5k once before (last year), but this year I won't have my friend, Erin, there to drag me past the finish line, so I figured I had better do something so that I can put our old time to shame. It's the least that I can do while she's at basic training!

Roof Shoveling

Obsessive

Leroy is so obsessive about everything, but especially about playing fetch and playing in the snow. So when snow was flying off of the roof, he was going nuts. No matter how much snow was dumped on him, he had to be right under it to try to catch it.

Beautiful Morning

This morning was gorgeous outside, so we spent some time playing in the snow, throwing snowballs at Leroy and making mini snowmen.

The Artist

Samantha got a blank canvas, paint and paint brushes for Christmas from the Hodny family. She created this masterpiece on New Years Day (except I added the 'S').
