Samantha's Last Week of High School

I have been neglectful in blogging about Samantha's final days of high school. I know we have been here before and with each niece/nephew graduating it seems to bring a different feeling...but Samantha has been around our house so much since Jess was born and especially since we moved to Dasher! She has been my "go-to" babysitter, picker-up from school person, and many other "duties as assigned", but I have done some things for her, too-not that either one of us are keeping score!!!


The Senior Class of 2009 before Senior chapel

We did survive Senior chapel and graduation! Samantha did a great job on her speech and I am thinking I was the only one that cried!!! I am so proud of her and all of her accomplishments thoughout high school-she is a great kid!
