Happy 1st Birthday Samara!

Happy Birthday precious Samara. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we're glad you had such a fun day.

Here are a few pictures we took today. As you can see, Samara had a lot of help opening her presents.











Oh and one more thing, if you're thinking of it, please pray for Samara's birthmom. What a tough week this will be for her remembering that one year ago today she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, cared for her for eight days and then did the hardest thing she's probably ever had to do. We are thankful everyday for the choice she made but what a thing to have to live with for the rest of her life. I can't even imagine and I will never know or understand her reasons but I do know that it had to be tough then and it probably still is. Please pray for strength and peace for her.
