Sam's first trip to visit 'Aunt Myrtle'

Sam took his first trip to the beach! He loved it! The water was still a little cool, but we did dip his toes in it! We had a great time! The weather was wonderful. We went to eat at one of our favorite spots - Cheeseburger in Paradise for lunch one day! It was great! We went to the outlets and of course bought some cute stuff for..... I wonder who? SAM! He is getting spoiled already!

Sam's dedication & Mother's day

It was a great first Mother's day for me! Sam gave me the sweetest card that made me cry. Daddy gave me a great picture of Sam and a beautiful earing and necklace set (Sam's birthstone) also with such a sweet card that made me cry. Daddy really knows how to pull at my heart strings.

Sam was also dedicated at church on this day. Our families came down to see him. It was so special. Of course, he has a big "blow out" in his white linen christening outfit 10 minutes before we are to go out to the service for the dedication. I think Sam wanted to me never to forget my first Mother's day. It worked! I won't!!

The dedication went great! We were so thankful our families came down to see him!
