Well Sammi turned 9 a few weeks ago and I still haven't found the cute picts I wanted to share. I have not unboxed any books and searching through boxes is not fun. I have found a few picts but is was fun anyway.

Sammi is growing so fast. She will be all grown up really soon, and that is scary.

I was going to measure her and get her weight. I think I will still do that.

Sammi is such a sweet person. She is so sensitive to others needs. When we walked through the airport she would pick up my luggage and help me carry it and telling me that I had enough to carry, while she is toting a huge back pack.

Sammi is so wonderful with her brothers. I have watched each one light up when she enters a room. She has always been one to have creative pretend play. and encourage her brothers to imagine anything. I remember Adam being sad when she had to go to school without him. He would wait for her to get home and light up and then finally start really playing when she got home.

Sam is a wonderful daughter. She is patient and kind. She really listens well and loves to make people smile. She can be goofy and serious and everything in between.

She will help me with the younger boys and has been interested in learning to cook. She reads nonstop. After reading any spare moment during the day, she will ask me if she can read before bed. Now I have to get that motivation for math. She is a wonderful artist and will also draw all day if I let her.

I love her and feel so blessed to have her as my daughter. I think of her as one of my best friends and hope to be a good example of what a Mom should be. I pray everyday that she will grow up strong, stay sensitive and stay close to the Lord.

Sam I love you
