2nd half of 2012

I thought I would try to quickly summarize the highlights of the 2nd half of 2012.

We found a baby bird and named her Mittens.

 

She was amazing and we all bonded with her.

 

 

Above is a video of our journey with Mittens.

 

 We celebrated America with our neighbors.

We toasted marshmellows indoors with our good friends.

Started a new church in a park with our Christian family.

Sam learned to cut Grandma's lawn.

 

Josie went mudding in Grandma's back yard.

We remembered my father on his birthday.

 

We went to the Jersey Shore with Grandma.

Played soccer on the beach.

 

 

Went to my cousin Emily's wedding.

 

 

Emily and Uncle Walter.

 

Josie was a cat for Halloween.
(Sam was too cool this year, but at the last minute went out as Ben 10 with some friends)

 

 

Sam started shooting an Indian bow and arrow.

Josie started Occupational Thearpy for Sensory Processing Disorder.

At basketball pictures Josie decided to be a cheerleader.

 

 All the presents brought by the REAL Santa and Angels to give us a magical Christmas 2012.

 

 

Looking forward to a new year.

 

Siblings Love, Love me not

Josie and Sam sure have a love/hate relationship. One minute they are getting along and the next it is full on throw down to the 10th degree. I would say most of the time they can't stand each other, which saddens me. But every now and then I capture a moment that warms my heart and gives me hope that they might be friends that they can rely on when they are older. This is a picture post of memories.
