Samantha Takes Over: From Busted Teeth... To San Antonio

This morning started out a little bumpy... as Samantha was enjoying her freedom of spinning in circles she slipped and hit the tile. She cried a bit as usual and I kissed her hands that slammed the floor, but she continued to cry.... Long story short, she hit her top teeth some how as well. I saw a little blood and called the dentist and went in right away. (Mostly because we had plans to get to San Antonio, not because I'm a total paranoid Mama. Although I was a bit worried.) They were amazing and super nice and said everything was ok. The part that freaked me out was that they kept referring to the 'hit' as "TRAUMA". It sounded so ER. Well, Sammie ate up the attention she was getting and you couldn't even tell that she fell. Also, I wish I would have gotten a pic of her getting checked by the doctor because she was so cool as a cucumber!

After the dentist and some tidying up around the house, we finally ventured down to San Antonio to see Zane and Christine and meet the kids (and see Mr. Vincent too). It's been well over 2 years since we'd all seen each other and we hadn't gotten the kids together yet. Zane is on winter break from school in Santa Cruz, where he'll be permanently residing after graduation in June; Texas will miss him, but you know Cali has all the cool video-gaming corporations there.
*Vincent gave Samantha a very special gift of Julia's, an old wind up Wizard the Oz snow globe. Samantha loved playing it over and over. It is so beautiful and truly special!
