Introducing...

This is our friend Sammy. He lives...well, on either end of the stone wall that fences in our backyard. Noah's window and the window behind our computer both face that wall. It is a favorite past time of ours to sit on the little twin bed that we keep in his room and stare out the window, especially when it's snowing. And then both Rich and I spend our fare share of time sitting in front of our computer.

Sammy brings much joy to our lives when we spot him (several times a day) scurrying back and forth across the top of the wall, holding something that I cannot identify. (believe it or not he JUST ran by to say good morning, no joke) You know the simple joy (atleast for me) that comes with spotting live wild animals habitating so close to your habitat! Even when it is something so small as a squirrel. To be honest this is not a real picture of Sammy, I wish we were that friendly, but I swear it looks just like him.
