Yay, it's March!

Samantha has been an official Whompton for exactly one year now. Having her here has been indescribable -- having close family so close has been a wonderful addition to our lives. Raina doesn't even process that she's an auntie; Sam is Sammy, a person who helps guide and parent and read, as well as play, play, play!

Raina often is wearing one of two things: her blue hoodie or her red Lizzie McGwire sweatshirt. But when Eric is wearing his Titans hoodie, then she wants to wear hers too so they can be "Hoodie Buddies!" They are quite adorable together.

They play a lot with play-doh now. Eric frequently makes a play-doh monster, which has a functioning digestive and excretory system: it eats and poops! Raina, in her potty-training phase, is fascinated each time the play-doh monster emerges.
