4 Short Stories

Story #1: Sammy's favorite toy right now is the magna doodle. Sometimes he'll let Steve or me join in on the fun.


After Sam creates something on the magna doodle he'll say, "I made this for you." The recipient usually gets a few seconds to admire it before it's erased.


Story #2: It is rare that both kids want to pose for a photo at the same time...


But when they do the results are unpredictable.


Story #3: Last Monday after we dropped Sam off at preschool, Steve, Anna and I went to a track to run some timed miles. Steve and Anna did some warm-up laps.


Go Anna go!


Story #4: One afternoon Anna announced, "Today is Snowbear's birthday." We joined in on the fun and hastily made some cupcakes (note Sam is not ready to pose).


We also wrapped some things which we had on hand. After the "party", Anna then proceeded to fill in the kitchen calendar with upcoming birthdays of other stuffed animal friends. I think we have a birthday to celebrate each week until the end of the summer.
