Selfies with Sammy

This is what happens when Sam and I are by ourselves for the morning. 

Tea party!

One of those precious moments that ended almost as soon as it began ...

Olivia's favorite book

Olivia can't quite comprehend how libraries work, like why we can't keep the books or why the people working in the library don't want the books anymore... Anyway, the only way I could get her to put the books in the slot was to take her picture with her favorites. 

And her very favorite book, "The Gingerbread Cowboy."

The morning light just happened to shine on our spooky window display. 

Sweet Olivia

A goodnight conversation:

Olivia: Mommy, will you love me forever?

Me: Yes, I will always love you.

Olivia: I will always love...(long pause) Daddy. And I will always love you, and I will always love Sammy and I will always love myself.

Me: That is really wonderful.

Olivia: I am giving myself a hug.

Funny Chris-ism

"No one ever thinks, who should we get for this part and then thinks Keanu Reeves."

Sammy loves the park

This boy loves the park!
