I just realized that Ben's little sister will be returning from her mission to stay with us a week before the baby is due and I'm not ready. So, my nesting phase has officially begun! This week we (when I say we, I mean my two fabulous nieces Jessica and Brooke) painted the baby's room. And then Ben's brother Adam and family came down and we cleaned out Karilynne's closet (I was using it for storage) and put up a shelf in the garage to hold stuff. It was actually a big task because there was another smaller wooden shelf there that we had to clean off and rip out, then put this one together, then move everything. The boys worked hard all day yesterday and Kristen (Adam's wife) helped me organize the house and fed us while the kids played. Thanks so much everyone! I feel much better now getting these big projects done.

Snow
Samantha loves the snow! Last year she could barely walk in it, so this year is definitely has been better for playing. At the beginning of the winter she called all snow 'noman' it was really cute. Benj is good to go out and play with her in it after work most days that it snows. She helps him shovel the driveway with a tiny plastic shovel (which mostly slows him down, but he lets her have her fun). Just recently she figured out she can still swing in the snow and wants to do that for a long time. She is oblivious to how cold she gets (mostly cause she is always sticking her face in the snow and eating it), and NEVER wants to come inside. I love her personality and how excited she gets about everything! Now that 'baby brother' (that's what we call him) is coming, I always imagine her teaching him about things and showing him how to play and stuff, can't wait! She is going to love having a playmate and be the best big sister!
