Blessing

So both kids have been sleeping, but now that I am writing on my blog I am sure one of them will wake up any second. So last week we blessed Samantha. It was so cool to see her in my blessing dress that my mom made for me, over 28 years ago. It fit her perfectly and I couldn't help but notice that she looked an awful lot like me. I will have to get some pictures of both of us in the dress posted so you can see for yourselves. Joe did such a good job blessing her, and I think my favorite part of the blessing was when he said that he hoped that Sam would be good friends with her sister throughout their lives, and that Sam would be understanding and accepting of others!! I so want Josie and Sam to be good friends. I never had a sister growing up and now I feel like I kinda get to experience it, by seeing my daughters interact and grow so close in age and become friends!!
Although I want Josie and Sam to be good friends it seems sometimes Josie likes Sam too much. She is always climbing on her, despite my efforts to keep her off. Last Friday, only hours before we were suppose to take family pictures, Josie climbed on top of Sam and got her finger right in Sam's little eye. She screamed like I have never heard her scream before. The redness and watering didn't go down after a couple of hours and so I took her to the instacare. Sure enough Sam had a scratched Cornia, it was a pretty good scratch... thank goodness the eyes have the amazing ability of healing quickly and she was fully recovered in 36 hours. But in the meantime we gave her an antibiotic eye drop to make sure she didn't get an eye infection. Although it heals quickly it actually starts to hurt more as it heals. So Sam wasn't her happy cheerful self for most of that day, and we ended up sitting in the dark for the rest of the day!

Samantha in the same blessing dress I wore, that my mom made!!
I think it looks even better on her, I love it!

I think in this picture she looks more like me, cause you can see her dimples, just like mine.
