Swimming at Uncle Will's and Aunt Emily's was really fun! Carina had fun playing with Aunt Emily's niece's - Uncle Will called it a princess party (speaking Carina's language)!

Sammy on the train...

watching the seals

this was probably the best part of the zoo! Carina with the walrus -this walrus played peek-a-boo the Carina and kept putting his face right up to hers. As we were leaving he put his flipper on the glass on her hand - it was so cute people watching said "he loves her"! Needless to say I really really love the walrus!

Having fun in the bath! Carina the big helper!

Sam liked the zoo - especially the train

We just got back from a week and a half in Indy - here are a few pictures of things we did. The first weekend we went on a tour of the new Lucas Oil Stadium - really cool - these pictures may not do it justice...

we went to the irish fair in st. paul today and carina turned into a butterfly!
Hoosh came to visit this past week, she had to leave today - these pictures were taken by Carina today - we will put more pictures on the website later of Hooshes visit. Thank you Hoosh for coming! The kids had a great time playing and hanging out with Hoosh. Hoosh got to meet a lot of friends while she was here. We went to the water park on Tuesday with Gannon, Michele and Paige, the "Y" on Friday with Allie, Caroline, Garrett, Ginny, Charlie and Cora. Today we were able to go to the Irish festival before Hoosh left! Thank you again for everything!



Hanging out!




So cute Sam!
They call me Big Sam and I have mastered sitting up - if you look closely can you see my two bottom teeth?

Trouble...
Carina loves Sammy and Sammy loves Carina!
Oh boy - what will big sister teach you?
