Meet our new friend... Samantha! (8/15/08)

Meet our new friend, Samantha (a.k.a. "Samy")! Just for the record, she is not our dog-- she is belongs to Aunt Sharon! :) Samantha came over to meet the kids for the 1st time tonight. The kids were all very excited at the sight of her, and as expected, Juliana was the most excited and interactive with her.... the other 3 kids watched Samy from a distance, but did pet her a few times when they got up the courage. The kids got to play with her in the yard -- Samantha's favorite thing is to play catch with her ball -- and she came on a walk with us.
When it was time for her to go home, the kids were sad, but I'm sure we will be spending a lot of time with Samantha. :) That night, all the kids kept saying was "Samy", "nice doggie"... it was cute!
