Levi's Blessing Weekend
We had the opportunity to have Levi's blessing at church at the beginning of the month. It was a beautiful blessing. Joe's parents came into town and brought his brother Benny and his daughter Samantha with them. My parents were here too and we had a nice time (although I always just want to lock my family in my house and never let them leave).
Papa took Michelle to the park, clearly she was in heaven.
And Levi Got a whole bunch of attention
I made him these special little booties which he wore with his blessing outfit (which Joe's mom Trudy made). Doesn't that yarn match the blanket perfectly? ;) The blanket was given to my Mom from her Grandma when she had my oldest brother (she loans it out for blessings). I made the booties just for Levi with a whole bunch of sentimentality attached ;)
Oh and did I mention we had boysenberry pie, I mean we have to include all pertinent information here ;) Sampsons should know what this is.

Last but not least:

She had a birthday, yes it's true
Our little Michelle turned 3 a few weeks ago! So hard to believe that it has been 3 years!
She has really done great with adjusting to being a big sister and she loves her little "Lephi" (although it is actually coming out Levi now sometimes).
In the past 3-4 months she has become increasingly articulate and loves to talk about things that have happened or what we are going to do, explaining it step by step. She has an impeccable memory (which is good and bad...) and loves to talk. She is obsessed with the ideas of cousins. She has chosen a little boy in our ward to marry but still insists that boys are silly. She has decided that Joe's job is to "talk to boys", she asks him every day if he did that today. She is potty trained!(that one was quite the trial this year... and she still won't really use public restrooms, but hey, neither will I). She loves to be a mini mommy and knows just what to do. She will eat most fruits (not melons), and rarely proteins (dinner time is almost always a battle right now). She plays well with others but is learning how to deal with those that don't play nicely with her. She has a very sensitive spirit and gets very worried and concerned when she sees anything "intense" or "scary". She loves elephants and blankets. She has been having fun getting herself dressed lately since we haven't been leaving the house much so I don't care. She enjoys a good negotiation. She loves to be outside. She is still primarily a Daddy's girl but did really miss me when I was at the hospital. She enjoys coloring. Her favorite thing to do with crayons right now is to make "M"s, lots and lots of "M"s .

She was not the least bit interested in posing for a picture so the above is a "true to life" moment :)
Also once we told her she could open an present she got so excited and just hugged the wrapped present saying "Oh! Thank you Mommy! Thank you Daddy!"
