thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughtful notes! they are extremely encouraging to me and my family. the memorial service for my grandpa will be next thursday. i trust the service will honor him and be an extremely meaningful time.

sammy has brought us such joy these days - here are some pictures from this last week.

samantha went to her first baseball game! mariners opening day! she was not so sure at first - especially with all the cheering. but as soon as she realized the cheering was a good thing she joined along and clapped. it was really cute.
grandma... why are all these people yelling?
after the game - three generations of baseball fans!
we were blessed with some great weather. here is sammy and faith enjoying the sun. i like it that she is petting faith in this picture.
sweet baby and the poor hat never really fit properly - a little small here:
and way too big in the picture above from last july

sammy loves pancake saturdays!! (although she looks a little confused in this picutre - maybe she is confused as to why her daddy didn't give her very many pancake pieces).
well off to do P90X. hope you all are having a restful saturday!
