Samuel was born beautiful. He just was. Olive skin. Dark, fluffy hair. Snuggly. As a baby, he simply wanted to be held. Now he just wants to be with you. He turned 6 today and I can't believe it. We had a breakfast party. About 8 families came, around 30 kids plus their parents. It was a beautiful day. The kids played outside, moms and dads chatted over coffee, and Samuel thought he had the biggest birthday party ever. There are few things I like more than my home filled with people.
Taking it all in.
He makes this face when he knows it's all about him.
I love the younger ones interacting with the older ones.
My trusty helper ;)
Samuel's love language: playing sports with friends.
I really can't believe you're so old, Samuel.
You amaze me with your quiet, yet strong spirit.
Can I be your mommy forever?

Oh my goodness! It seems like just yesterday that I moved into your house and Baby Samuel was just a month old! I didn't know than what a blessing your family would turn out to be for me (actually I was kind of freaked out...what was I thinking moving in with complete strangers to take care of their 3 boys!) But I am so glad God asked that of me! :) Happy Birthday Samuel!
such a special day yesterday-loved celebrating sw with all the people that love him and you guys so much...and you're right-samuel was born beautiful- your little spanish one:) glad i could be such a reliable and punctual source of support-i'm not quite sure how you would have done it without me. ;)
Teresa, didn't know what a blessing you would be to our family either :) I remember crying when you and your dad drove out of our driveway for the last time... We miss you!
Thanks for planning this while I was away--; )
J and B missed a great party!!
