Samantha is 3!

At three years old, Sami:
-loves Dora (Super Babies is her favorite episode), & all sing-along dvds
-loves to sing and dance
-is very independent
-loves picking out her clothes each morning
-loves tacos, chicken nuggets with ketchup, and macaroni and cheese
-asks to go to the store everyday
-will do almost anything to help make cookies
-now enjoys every holiday
-loves nursery and all her little friends
-when she sees Janie getting into troubles, she tries to stop her (which doesn't go over well with Janie)
-shares Mom's love of yard sales and looking for "treasures"
-favorite toys are Polly Pockets, books, dolls, dress-up, and kitchen
-looks forward to art time and book time
-is terrified/fascinated with the garbage truck & the vacuum and their accompanying noises
-would spend all day outside and at the park if she could
-loves people and is extremely outgoing
-is really good at picking up (most of the time☺)
-is such a joy in our lives!

I can't believe it's been three years since we first walked into that hospital in Raleigh, NC, to meet our sweet Sami girl! I am still amazed and awed that she got to come to our family and that we get to spend eternity with her. She is such a blessing to our lives and our family.  When I look at Sami, I see God's love for me, in giving me such a miracle.  It was meant to be. And I love her, her birth family, and my Heavenly Father for the joy that she is in our loves.

We love you, Samantha!!
