Happy Birthday!

Dear Sam,

I hope we remembered right...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Of course, Sammy can't sing - or talk much, but any new pics of this wonderful boy are always a treat!

This is his favorite book - it's called B is for Bear and it has something to touch & feel on every page. He adores looking at the pictures in this book over and over.

I love how Sammy is so fearless. He knows he can crawl up on anything, and lately, he's attempting the supported "walk." Even though he loses his balance here, he doesn't let it bother him and keeps on going. What a great lesson for all of us to remember!!!

And finally, the sound that makes my heart flood with joy - laughter. Here, Uncle Brandon is "chasing" Sammy around the kitchen at my parents house. (Uncle Brandon and Aunt Kimberly - Michelle's sister - are expecting TWINS this fall - we are all super excited to have more cousins around!!!)

Thanks for giving us the BEST gift - one we couldn't give ourselves. We hope your birthday is the best one yet!!

Love Always - Dave, Michelle & Sammy
