California Samantha?

In her post below Nancy talks about how Samantha was prepared to go with her grandma to California via Las Vegas and had even packed her Dora suitcase. I took the above photo after Samantha had finished packing. She really did a good job.

When she mentioned early Monday evening that she was going along with Grandma J, we told her there was no way we would let her go - we would miss her too much. Later on we put her to bed. She was in bed for a few minutes before she yelled out, "Mom. Dad. I don't want to go with grandma!" That was so cute.

Even though we had let her know otherwise, in her mind she had still planned to go - until she was in bed and thought about it. I again assured her that even though Grandma had played along there was never a thought in our minds that we would actually let her go. I told her we loved her too much to be without her for so long.
