Week 12

Week 12 - Oh my, soon we will have to stop counting her age in weeks and change to months instead! I refuse to say she is 3 months old until it is actually October 11th, until then it is 12 weeks. This week was quick again - aren't they all?

Jeff and Amanda are both busy at work. Jeff just keeps getting new jobs and Amanda has enough work to do 6 days a week but just tries to pack it into three. Tuesday night we had our Journey Group Bible study and took Samara. We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Derby's beforehand to feed her and say hi to them. Grandma and Grandpa both held her and she was a happy baby. She was good the whole time during bible study too and slept like a rock. Our leader told the other couples there who have no kids that "not all babies are like this so keep that in mind". :) I explained that she was not always like this, but she is thankfully a very good baby. She just keeps getting happier and happier, more smiles and more cooing and noises - so fun! Thursday Jeff helped his Dad redo the ceiling in their old house then we all went to eat dinner after their tough job was done. Once again, Samara slept through a meal out and we were fine with that. Friday Mommy and Mara girl got to spend the day together again and it was great. When Daddy got home he brought Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner and we went to be early - long week and all were tired. We asked ourselves if it was sad to just want to go to bed on a Friday night - oh well, we didn't care! Over the weekend Amanda's Uncle Tom and Aunt Laila were in town from AZ (for the first time in 12 years!) so Saturday we went over to Pennell's to hang out and have dinner. It was fun to talk and catch up - more to come in next week's post on this as all the pics were taken on Sunday. So, that was the week, busy but fun!
