Vacation!

Last week I was on vacation! Well, I guess now we call it "staycation" if you don't really go anywhere. Samantha and I were home for the first part of last week, and then on Wednesday we all went to Oak Lawn for a few days. Chris had a training seminar to go to on Thursday and Friday in Chicago, so Samantha and I went with and were able to spend that time with my family.

I found a toy box for her on ebay, and my dad went to pick it up for us on Thursday.

We did a little swimming in the pool, and discovered that Samantha thinks she's a fish. She was constantly dipping her face in the water and kept trying to wiggle away from whomever was holding her.

We can always count on Gina to provide some entertainment...

On our way home we stopped at the Goodwill in Coralville and scored this little kitchen for $3.39. They have these kitchens in the nursery at church and Samantha loves all the little doors and sounds it makes. It's the perfect size for her to play with in our tiny kitchen while I cook.
This one didn't come with any of the food or extra toys, so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled for those sorts of things at garage sales this summer.

A post on our blog wouldn't be complete without random pictures of Samantha from the past few weeks.

To end on a good note, I got some great news yesterday! Our Nikon camera that I dropped (and broke!) is going to be fixed under warranty and hopefully returned to us in about a week! I like being able to take pictures with my phone, but It'll be nice to get our camera back. I'm pretty happy that we don't have to go out and buy a new one after all!
