Baby boom and getting ready for Christmas

We have had a baby boom at church recently. First, our friend Becky (Miss
Becky to Samantha) had triplet boys! Samantha has been praying for these babies
every night for more than a year. First she prayed for Miss Becky to have a
baby. Then when she learned she was pregnant with triplets, Samantha named them
Sally, Bob, and Lucy. Once we learned they were all going to be boys, that
changed to Bill, Bob, and Lucas. Once they were born we were so excited to learn
their actual names and finally get to meet them!

When we went to visit, Samantha got to hold each precious boy!

Our friend Deven (Peyton and Haila's mom) had her baby girl just a week and a
half later.

Here is Samantha holding Kendyl Ann at church on Sunday.

Fall 2011

Here are just a few pictures from this fall. I have more from our Lake Lure trip that I can't seem to get uploaded, so we'll make that a separate post.

Samantha lost her first (and second) tooth this fall. Here is a picture with the first tooth missing.

We had our annual Easter Seals UCP Walk with Me. Thank you to everyone who supported Samantha. She raised $590! I didn't check my camera battery before we left for the Walk and it was dead, but here is a picture from my phone.

Samantha attended a cowboy birthday party on Saturday. When we got home I had her pose for a few pictures. These were my favorites.
