The Dress

We are taking Samantha to Memphis for Easter.  It's a BIG deal. 

We leave the day after her first birthday.  It seems surreal to me that this is already on the radar screen.  It will be her first plane flight, having been cleared to fly in January.  I can't help but worry about the possibility of this somehow causing more problems in her brain, but I am told it should not. 

Assuming we all get there safely and I don't have a nervous melt-down that causes me to be escorted off the plane in Houston, Samantha will be baptized on Easter Sunday in Germantown Presbyterian Church.

We are so excited.  This church actually founded a prayer group that met especially to pray for Samantha weekly during her hospitalization, and they still meet periodically today.  What wonderful, giving people!

Here's the dress she will wear.  What a little cream puff!  She is showing off one of her latest skills in the photo as she applauds her pretty dress.

Here was the alternative.  Not a bad choice either, but Samantha loved playing with the soft fabrics on the other.  Also, this cotton REALLY wrinkles, and mom is a slacker when it comes to ironing. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We had a great time shopping.  Samantha's grandmother (Carl's mom) was with us, as well as a long-time family friend, Eileen.  We bought the dress in Old Town Spring, a really cute little shopping area with lots of boutiques in old houses, etc.  Quite a pleasure.

Another great thing about having a grandparent in town is that there is someone other than MOM to hold the camera!  Look, here I am with Samantha in the Land of 1000 Ducks.

Ahh! I can't believe she's going to be one so soon!!! I also can't believe that it's going to be another two years before we get to meet her. I am sure she & Sarah would be fantastic friends... I'm so glad you are keeping up with the blog so we can watch your little darling grow.
