INTRODUCING....

Samantha Michelle

Born on Wednesday, March 18, 2009

Time: 4:30 pm

Weight: 8lbs 11 oz

We went in on Wednesday, March 18th to finally meet the little one, whom we all were eagerly anticipating! After dropping Breanna and Zachary off at Victoria and Austin's house and Cassandra at Oma and Opa's, off we went to the doctors for a good old stretch and sw**p.

We came home from the hospital late Friday afternoon, after the disappointment of having to stay the extra night, due to some more tests having to be done with Samantha. Breanna and Zachary came home on Saturday (Thank you Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike!!) and Cassandra stayed at Opa and Oma's until Monday evening, when they dropped her off (thank you Opa and Oma!!)

The kid's all love Samantha. No jealousy...yet!! They love taking turns holding her and she sure is getting her share of kisses too!

BREANNA'S 7TH BIRTHDAY

Happy 7th birthday to Breanna!
Breanna turned 7 on March 7......her champagne birthday!!!

Breanna is our girly girl! We are so proud of the young lady she's becoming and can't believe how fast the time is going!! We love you, Breanna!!!

We had a party on her birthday (Saturday) at the church for her friends from class (12 girls altogether at the party). They all made a necklace, picking out beads to spell their names. We had pizza, cake, opened gifts and played some games. She had a lot of fun!

The following day, we had a party at Oma and Opa's. Another fun day....and some more spoiling!!

THEY DO LOVE EACH OTHER!!!

Some days I wonder!!! Other days my heart melts when I walk into a room and see the following.....
