Poor Guy

Silly Sammy Slick,
I can't believe it's been OVER a year since I've updated your blog.  I had big plans to catch up yours the same way I did Hannah's.  I just don't think it's going to happen.  I'm sorry you've got such a slacker Mama!

In a year you've:
  • been to Maryland to visit your Great Aunt Mary & Uncle Carroll for Thanksgiving
  • had a bowling party for your 3rd birthday (I'm going to try to get these pictures up for you!)
  • Uncle Dave & Aunt Karen had twin girls in March 2011 - Catherine Louise & Samantha Jean
  • You went on your first airplane trip to Houston, TX in April.  You loved the whole thing...the airplane ride, your cousins, Uncle Thom, all of the fun activities we did while we were there.
  • in May we went to Panama City Beach, FL for our family vacation.  You're constantly asking to go back :-)
  • in May we also went to New Albany, IN for Lori & Mike's wedding.  It was so fun watching you & Hannah dance during the reception!
  • In March Daddy brought home four baby chicks.  Then he brought home another four so now we've got 8 chickens!  You love them and are so good about helping us feed/water them.  You even helped Daddy build the chicken coop.  You've always been a wonderful helper!
  • July we've celebrated Papa's birthday and spent  a lot of time swimming!
You have been talking more and more lately!  You used to let Hannah do all the talking but now you're starting to speak up and voice your opinions.  I love it!
You also were so shy around Jack S. but now you two are the best of friends.  Yesterday you spent an entire day playing happily with Jack.  You're a little bossy with him but he doesn't seem to mind too much :-)

I love you Sammy.  You make me so incredibly happy and it is an honor to be your mother!  I will update more often I promise!!

Love forever,
Mommy

Here are a few recent pictures of you...
