HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!

We can hardly believe that our Sami girl is already a year old! What a great year it has been! She has blessed our lives in every way possible and it seems hard to remember life without her. Her sweet smile and contagious laugh brighten our lives every day. She is the joy of our lives and we know how blessed and fortunate we are to have her.

She has taught me so many lessons. She loves life and can't wait to start the day. She is learning how to walk, and even though she knows she is going to fall, she keeps going and gets up with every fall, ready to try again. She has also taught me about Heavenly Father's love for each of us. While we can't imagine loving anyone more than we love Sami, we know that Heavenly Father loves each of us more perfectly than we love her. There isn't a battle I wouldn't be willing to fight for Samantha, and I worry about her and pray for her, and I marvel that Heavenly Father loves us all so much more than we can possibly love each other, as much as that is. I want to be a better person and a better mom for Samantha, and that's a gift she gives me everyday.


Samantha, thank you for coming to our home! You will always be our special angel girl. You have done more for us than you will ever know. We love you so much!


Happy Birthday Samantha!
