Little Brother

We found out a couple days ago that we are having another boy. We are excited that Samuel with have a playmate. Most of all, we are hopeful that this little one will wait til his due date and not be so eager to enter the world like his Big Brother! ;)

Happy 2nd Birthday Samuel!!!!

I can't believe Samuel is two-years-old! Other parents have told me that the time goes by fast and I think you truly don't understand that until you are actually a parent. Of course, there are long days and nights but overall the past two years have seemed like a blur in so many ways. It's hard to remember what life was like before Samuel. He has brought more joy to our lives than I ever expected possible. Of course, the fact that he is a preemie is always in the back of our minds but miraculously Samuel's development and health have not been affected. We are truly blessed.

We had a birthday party the day before Samuel's birthday so he got to enjoy cake two days in a row.

Samuel got his first pair of slippers from his Grandma for his birthday. He loves them. Samuel's cheeks got really red from playing in the bounce house. What a cutie!
