Well, our darling little 6 1/2 month old has been up to alot since I last blogged. For future reference, my friend Lisa Reagan is an amazing blogger and usually has plenty of pics and info about Maddux on their website if you would like to check up on her there when you haven’t heard from me.
We just came back from a retreat with all of our leaders for our summer projects. With this many leaders, you can imagine that we are preparing for a pretty big beach project this year! Maddux seemed to enjoy it, and I loved being there with her. We are learning what it is like to integrate our lives in ministry with our calling as parents. Hope this learning curve is a steep one. One thing is for sure, it has seemed to be a good thing for the students we spend time with to watch us “figuring this out.”
It is never easy to be so far away from family and so many of our friends, and the holidays can be pretty tough when I am used the the traditions in Tennessee. However, it has been such amazing fun to spend time with our staff team (extended family)! We went with the Reagans and Brooks for Easter. Maddux is on the right, then little Cally in the middle and Annie on the right.
This curious look is Maddux’s most common expression so far.
I have been trying to pick up the camera more often…
Lisa and I took the girls to the pool. For those of you in the south, the only pool up here that is open in May is the indoor pool at the YWCA.
I have some fun videos that I have no idea how to get from iMovie to the blog. I will be working on that one. Luckily, I will be spending much of the summer on our Beach Project in Myrtle Beach, and there are a number of students computer savvy enough to tutor me.

LOVE that you have taken the monogramming and the smocking up there in the North. You are still a southerner at heart:-) It was so fun to talk the other night. Thanks for loving me and praying for me all these years! Can’t wait to meet Maddux one day

Nice post Samm!
And for the videos, your best bet is to upload them on to youtube and than post them onto your blog. :]

Samm, This is Josh Espinosa. I have a sister in law who just married and moved to Mn (St. Paul area). Can you email me at joshua@thehavensc.com so that I can give you her information. She and her husband could use the Christian touch/fellowship and maybe you can get them connected with some folks.
Thanks.

Samm!! I agree with Bethany. Maddux is sporting some southern style!! Thanks for updating. It is so fun to watch and read about the progress in your lives! Maybe I can meet Maddux when I’m in MB this summer. Going down to meet up with my roommate.
