Picture Link - Sam & Artie

O.k., I admit it, I am clueless and helpless when it comes to attaching pictures. I have, however, tried to do the next best thing.... I am attaching a link to Kodak Easy Share Gallery where I have posted 40 of my favs of the BOYZ.

The first two pics are in the orphanage so you can see how much they've changed since November. You'll see them from Christmas to Church Clothes to Valentine's Day to 2 weekends ago (very last set from Sam with sunglasses on til Artie's faceplant into the mud).

Sam has dark hair and Artie has the crazy professor hair.

You'll have to sign in to view them , but if you really want to see the BOYZ, you'll go through the hassle.

ENJOY!

Adorable...I gotta say though, I love Artie...because he is just like my Alex ...and in the picture of Artie's eyes peeping over the counter top...he even looks like my Alex. But they are both precious.

And have Ms Rainy walk you thru how to post on here...

I actually called the studio yesterday because we were right by the studio. I wanted to see if Buddy was already there so the BOYZ could meet him/her.

(Also asked DH if we could help babysit the lamb and his stunned silence was answer enough! What a poop!)
