Birthday Boy

SAMUEL JOSEPH IS 8 YEARS OLD!
Who would have thought that 8 years ago I had this beautiful boy. When he was born he came out with a full head of dark hair. It looked like one of those fluff things at the end of a pencil...or like he put his finger in a socket. By the time he was a month old, I gave him his first haircut. His hair was so long on top that I was able to give him a "flat top" cut. But during that first year of his life, I watched his hair turn lighter and lighter. Now it is a light brown with golden highlights. He has the bluest of eyes and the cutest smile around!

He loves to climb, run, jump, and play sports. Uncle Jon said that he has good coordination for soccer or softball. Maybe one day he will be able to play on a team.


Samuel loves to be creative! You can often find him building and drawing!



Such a cute boy. He is in charge of the calendar! He changes the paper for the month and marks off the days as they go by.




Here Samuel is building a race track for his cars.



Samuel enjoys music and crafts. He can often be found painting or drawing. He creates games for his siblings to play with him. He will be a great person to recruit help and motivate others. He just assumes you want to play with him. Always with a cheerful smile, if he can't get you to join in with his ideas, he is willing to adapt to make it fun for you too:)


We love our Samuel Joseph! He is such a blessing to us from the Lord!
