Nothing too exciting going on here. Patrick and I are getting the hang of this parenting thing, and Samantha is growing up so fast. We are having so much fun with her. She laughs and smiles all the time now, all you have to do is smile at her first or make a new noise and she is putty in your hands. She enjoys snuggling on the couch with me throughout most of the day, and the only time she cries now is when she is wet, hungry, or when we put her down. lol.
Patrick and I did go on our first date night, since Samantha was born, on Friday. We really needed some time for just us, and went to dinner and a movie, while my mom watched the baby. She had a good time with her Granna, who played dress up and held her the whole time. Patrick and I had a good time out on our date, and mom texted me pictures of Sam so that I could see for myself that she was doing fine while we were away.
We are continuing to pray for Patrick’s family. All of his relatives who live in Albertville were struck by a tornado a couple of weeks ago. His grandmother had a tree fall on her house which caused some roof damage, his uncle had some trees fall on his house which knocked some of the house off of its foundation along with roof damage and damage to the cars in the driveway, and his grandfather and step-grandmothers house was hit by trees and the roof was completely ripped off. Thankfully no one was injured, and all of the houses will be able to be repaired. We are just praying for things to get fixed quickly and that his family will heal emotionally from this disaster.
Other than all of that, we are just looking forward to Samantha’s baptism on the 23rd. We can’t wait to have our family and some friends join us in committing our daughters life to Christ. Right now it looks as if we will have about 30 people attending which is so overwhelmingly amazing! I’ll keep you updated!
We had some pictures taken of Sam with her 3 handsome cousins this past weekend, so my mother could have some professional pictures of all 4 grandkids together. Hope you enjoy!

Dear God,
Thank you so much for everything you do for us. Thank you for taking care of our family, and for watching over us all, no matter the circumstances. Thank you for giving Patrick and me the opportunity to go out and be a couple again and reminding us of how much we love each other. Thank you for letting Sam have a good time with my mom, and for letting my mom enjoy herself too. Please continue to watch over us and take care of us and our families.
AMEN
