Samantha's first blog

Posted By pamelamyers on November 28, 2011

This Thanksgiving, as well as every Thanksgiving, I had so many things to be thankful for.  I am thankful for Mark, my husband, my anchor, my rock. For Zephyr and all the love she gives me and for reminding me to think of things smaller, but equally as significant, as myself.  For my family, who gives much more than they receive in return.  For our jobs, our health, our home.  For my friends and for all of the kindnesses received from complete strangers who see a harried mother trying to wrangle a small child.  But mostly, for our Sam.  Samantha, how can we begin to put into words how thankful your daddy and I are for you?  For your very presence in our lives?  Each day we spend with you we talk about how lucky we are, how you have enriched our lives in ways we never imagined.  Happy Thanksgiving, Samantha.  We love you so very much!

Here is Sam after checking out our turkey.  She loves to hang onto our backs now and get a piggy back ride.

At dinner, Sam didn’t eat one bite (not a surprise, our picky girl remained picky).  But she did have fun playing with her food and stabbing her roll with her knife.  She also learned to toast and happily clinked her cup against all of our wine glasses!

Here is the happy Myers family, looking exhausted from all the cooking!

Sam’s favorite part of the day was hanging out with all of her grandparents. She gets so excited when she sees her Grandmom and Poppy and her Mom Mom and Pop Pop.  She kept asking for her cousin Maddox, Aunt Krissy and Uncle Adam, but we told her she’d see them soon and that we know they missed seeing her as much as she missed them.
