Happy Birthday, Sammy!

Well, Sammy. It's today. Your first birthday. And I can't tell you what a sweet pleasure it's been to have you around this last year (and 9 months) or so!

Your daddy and I agreed, long before ever having our first child, that four children would be the perfect number for us. All I can say is that I'm so, so, glad... so touched, so blessed, that God used you to so clearly prove us wrong.

You're amazing! You're such a happy, good-natured chap... your big sister thinks that you love everyone and that everyone loves you, and it's easy to see how she'd think that. You're such an engaging, but peaceful, sweet, and full-of-life young lad.

I love how much you love your siblings... and how much they love you. And you definitely have me wrapped around your finger.

We're very blessed to have you, Sammy. We love you bunches. Happy Birthday!
