Everyone has been asking for pictures of the inside of our new house, so we are finally posting a few! Here is the beautiful kitchen!

This window seat is one of my favorite things about the house. Great for coffee and breakfast time!

Here is our dining room

This is my favorite room in the house. The built in bookshelves and fireplace are great! We can't wait to use it when it gets cold outside.

Here is Hannah's wonderfully pink room

Reagan's room

The back deck

The wooded back yard, which our dogs love! We have had a few deer sightings out there the last couple days!

Girls Night In

Sam left today for High Grove's annual retreat, leaving Hannah, Reagan and I alone for a couple days. We decided to make the best of it tonight and have a girls night in! We made a trip to the grocery store to get ingredients to make some homemade pizza. Hannah sat up on the counter and helped me knead the dough and add toppings. She watched through the oven window as it was baking and then we enjoyed our yummy pizza. Reagan even chewed on some crust! Reagan got grumpy pretty early and had to go to bed, but Hannah and I spent the evening together and had a great time! After dinner we curled up on the couch with some blankets and watched a movie together. Hannah has never before watched a full-length movie and I was not sure if she would sit through the whole thing but she loved it. We don't really have any Disney movies or anything like that, so I found the best thing I could from the On Demand cable.....we ended up with Madagascar, which was a good choice for Hannah with all the animals. We ate some popcorn, snuggled and enjoyed the movie. I love that she is getting big enough to do this kind of stuff with!

Splish Splashin'

We tried out the Sprayground today at Roswell's Riverside Park. We had been to this park before to play on the playground, but the Sprayground was a whole new experience! We were joined by Lauren and her baby, Keira. Hannah was not too sure about the water at first but after a little while she was having a great time! I am definitely wishing we had discovered this place earlier in the summer. It is cheap, fun, close to the house and best of all is great for keeping cool in this awful Georgia heat! We will definitely be going back again soon!

I think next time Mommy and Reagan will be wearing bathing suits so that we can join in the fun too!

Last week we made the trip down to Florida to meet the newest little Sampson. Little Presley Elizabeth was so cute and little! I thought Reagan was little, but next to her cousin she looked huge! We had a great time staying at Andrew and Jackie's house! Here are the brothers with their babies!

Grandma Sampson with all three of her little granddaughters!

Hannah was so tired from school and the trip down that she zonked out in front of the TV and was out for the night.

We have our first niece! Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Sam!

She is so super cute and tiny!

After spending a few days getting to know Presley, we stopped by my parents house in Orlando on the way back home. It was a very quick visit but was good to get to see everyone. This was the first time Great Grandma got to meet Reagan!

We, of course, had to try out the pool while we were there. Hannah liked it quite a bit more than the last time.

The whole gang is in the pool! We enjoyed seeing everyone but were ready to get home. Traveling to Florida with two kids was much harder than with one!

Back to School

Hannah started back at preschool last week. She is now going to St. Peter and St. Paul's Episcopal Church Preschool three mornings a week. Mommy is excited for a much needed break after the long summer and ready for Hannah to make some new friends and learn even more! She was excited to go back and was not scared at all about being in a new place. In fact, when I had to leave her there on "Meet & Greet" day, when all the other kids were crying, Hannah hardly even knew I had left her! When it was time for her first day she was very excited to carry her school bag all by herself. She is such a big girl!

Hannah even used the potty on her first day of school. She is going to show all the other kids how it is done!

Painting, Play-Doh, reading, playing outside.....you would think it would really wear a girl out! But no nap for Hannah, she was so excited to go meet her newest cousin she could not even sleep! We picked her up from school and immediately left for Lakeland to meet little Presley!

Sam and I became an aunt and an uncle this week! Sweet baby Presley Elizabeth was born on August 2, 2010. We are so excited for Hannah and Reagan to meet their first little cousin. We are hoping they will all be great friends and looking forward to them growing up together! Jackie and Andrew are going to be great parents and we can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!

All babies are different and anyone who has spent a great deal of time with Reagan has seen that she can be pretty cranky. She is not nearly as laid back and independent as Hannah was from such an early age, and needs our love and attention so much more. They are only little for such a short time and we love Reagan just the same and cherish the times we see her smile and be a happy baby! Here are a couple pics of her from today!

So they must make those straps in the bouncy seat so your baby can't do this....

Time to Eat!

Reagan has been watching us eat with eager eyes for weeks now and we decided it was time she got to try a little something other than milk. She started with some rice cereal last week and is starting to get the hang of it.

Every time I bring the spoon near her mouth she grabs my hand and shoves the spoon in. I have to pry her little fingers off to get my spoon back!

Tonight we tried some avocado.

Hannah decided she wanted to try feeding her sister. Reagan was happy to eat it, but Hannah's aim was little off and it ended up everywhere!

mmmm....thanks sister!

Reagan has recently discovered her toes and they are her new favorite thing to play with. They can often be found in her mouth but have not been able to catch that on camera yet.

Bath time is so much more fun with two in the tub and also much easier for mommy and daddy!
