Sanibel Island, FL

We spent a few days in Sanibel, FL a week ago with the Ravensberg family! It was great to retreat to the sun and beach...Sam loved the sand and ocean and the flight was much more bearable from Indy versus the one last year from CA!

Dining out has taken on new meaning with a 21 month old!

David's birthday dinner at Sunset Grill

The gang before dinner at the jazz bar! Gamaw, Marty, and Bob were so gracious to send us out... while they spent the evening with Sam.

Finding shells and critters with "Bobby"

Samantha was very intrigued by the other kids on the beach and their sand castles!

Playing in the ocean!

" Building" sand castles of her own!

Rinsing the sand off of her legs! Samantha has become very particular about having anything on her hands, feet, face, legs, etc.

Again, trying to get the sand off of her feet!

We were sad to leave the beach, but so thankful to only say good-bye to FL instead of family too! It is wonderful being close to everyone again, although we miss our friends and climate in CA dearly=) Love to you all! Thanks for checking in...

21 Months

Loving the beach in Sanibel, FL this year!

March 7, 2008

Samantha loved getting to celebrate Ryan and Meagan's wedding with everyone! She couldn't get enough of the band and dancing with all her family. The wedding took place at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church and the reception was downtown Indy at the Westin. It was a beautiful event!

Sam trying to get down to dance!

Getting down!

Samantha loved playing with cousin Carter!

Samantha and Carter were a hit to watch on the dance floor!

Stopping for a photo op before the reception=)

Samantha was in heaven at the rehearsal dinner! She couldn't dig in fast enough when the waitress placed a bowl of vanilla ice cream in front of her!! Like father, like daughter=) Sam's favorite treat is "ice-sume!"
