over the river and through the woods...to granny's house we go

its been a fun-filled week full of together time with sammy's grammy who came to visit. samantha loves playing with her and catching up after a few weeks apart. the first night she arrived we celebrated out to dinner with the whole family and we've been having a blast ever since. we tried to remember to take more pictures this time but somehow still forgot...but we did take lots of pictures on our day trip to visit sammy's granny (grammy's mom...don't get confused, hehe) lita, baby rylan, pam, samantha and i drove to tampa and had a nice lunch at granny and jerry's house and then off to the brandon mall to escape the never ending thunderstorms. the babies were a dream and enjoyed the whole day. samantha jumped in some of rylan's newborn photos at the studio that afternoon and it was too cute to watch. rylan is like a real live doll to her. ha! thankfully we got home safe and sound after driving through some serious thunderstorms. love spending time with family, love taking samantha to new places, love making memories together.
