Sara's early birthday present from her Aunt Ashley

Ashley's boss' son was not taking care of his hamster. He asked Ashley if she knew anyone who would want it. She immediately thought of our family. :-) The next day, Sara received a surprise, early birthday present. I tried uploading the video of Sara receiving the hamster that she promptly named Ring. Unfortunately, the audio didn't record and it won't upload, but I have some pictures that have. She was SO EXCITED, but she knew she MUST be gentle, so she was super calm whenever the hamster was near or in her hands. When someone else was holding him, she was excitedly pouncing Ashley over and over again with excitement and giggles. I don't think Ashley has ever had that many hugs in such a short time outside of her husband. It was SO CUTE! :-) Sara excitedly tells EVERYONE about her new hamster and makes sure that anyone who might want to hold him will follow a set of careful rules. It's SUPER cute. She's really protective of him and I still fear she may maul him to death. She's now heard lots of stories and warnings about how hamsters can die easily and she must be ultra careful. She's doing well, as are Gregory and Scott. :-)
