Sam and Katie

Sam has always been a little sweetheart. Even though being 4 has brought on a whole new attitude with him, he still is deep down a sweetie. For this reason he plays really well with not only boys but also girls. There is one girl in particular lately that lives down the street that he plays with often. Her older brother is Rex's friend so when Rex and his friend get together it's only natural that Sam and Katie play as well. They have become great friends and are always looking for each other at church or she will have her older brothers walk her down to our house to say hi.
Sam also attends Preschool with another little girl named Afton that he has played with for a couple of years. For the longest time she was his "girlfriend". The other day we had a conversation that went like this:

Sam: "Mom, I am going to marry Katie some day."
Me: "Ok, but what about Afton?"
Sam: "Well... I'll have them both come over and play eenie meenie miney mo and then whoever wins I'll marry!"

Ha ha ha ha! I just about died laughing! The simplicity of life for a 4 year old.

Mark was able to capture these two pictures of Sam and Katie this last week. These were not staged, this is just how tight they are. It's so cute, sweet and innocent.
