Samantha's 2009

Tulip Time 2009

Winter 2008

The first Christmas in West Olive has been blessed and adventurous with buckets of snow, lots of snowblowing for Scott with assistance from Sami, and lots of time with family and friends at Christmas parties.

Fall 2008

Sami really settled into our new place well, and she enjoys all the space for playing both inside and out.

Samantha's last few months

We've enjoyed the last few months, even though they've been pretty busy moving from Holland to the parsonage of West Olive church. Here are a few highlights of Sami's adventures amidst our craziness.

Sami's 12 month photos

We had a great time today at the 12 month photo shoot! The photographer was very patient with a wiggly wanderer who stayed still for no more than 2 seconds at a time. She thought of all sorts of props to distract her, like chairs and beads... I have always liked more simple pictures without a lot of extras like those, but I see now why parents might choose them! Sami liked them, and liked the photographer. I think she had a lot of fun!
