On March 17 our Samuel turned five years old! Sam has been looking forward to turning 5 for quite some time because we had told him he couldn't go to school with Jack and Emily or play on a sports team until he was 5. So now that he is 5 we had to break the news to him that Kindergarten wouldn't start until September. To a 5 year old 6 months is an eternity, but he swallowed the news happily.
Samuel continues to be our sweet little guy. God has blessed him with such a gentle spirit. We always say that he's the preacher of our family. He's always eager to pray for us and many of you. Of course he has his shortfalls, but all in all he's a pretty easy going, happy kid.
When I first told him Happy Birthday in the morning he said, "You mean this WHOLE day is my birthday?" After I told him that it was, his eyes opened wide and his smile didn't seem to fade away. It just made my day!
Happy Birthday, Samuel!!
