My friend Sam

My friend Sam is currently a traveling actor with MCT (Missoula Children's Theater). This means that she is spending 5 months of her life travelling parts of the US, taking the play "Robin Hood" to children at local schools. They are in a new area each week, and from what I hear from her, she is having a great time. Check out her blog at www.samanthacook.blogspot.com. We miss her, but we know she's having fun, and she'll be back before we know it!!

Michaela turns 5!

Well, she really did it, just like we knew she would. On January 30, 2008, our sweet Short One, Michaela, turned 5! Mom had a rough day that day, although Mikey enjoyed her day very much! She got to pick where we went for dinner (Double Front Cafe) and then got to have bubblegum ice cream before going to Awana for the evening, where her entire Cubbies class sang "Happy Birthday" to her! Mom spent the day thinking about booster shots and kindergarten registration and the fact that I can no longer deny that my "baby" is a baby no longer--she's 5!!!
