Just Some Stuff

I really don't think there is anything that Samuel does that I don't think is cute. That is likely not a good thing, and yes, Samuel is probably a bit spoiled. He is just such a good little guy that even if he does something that he isn't suppose to do (i.e. play with my dry sink) I can't help but laugh at his mischievous grin.
Here is Samuel sleeping. For those of you who haven't met Samuel, let me assure you that he does have two legs...He just likes weird sleep positions. While we were in Washington, Papa bought Samuel a little cheeseburger. I didn't think Samuel would even try it, but he did! He thought it was great. So, I got him another one. He thinks he is pretty neat sitting a the table eating his cheeseburger. He just nibbles at it and doesn't eat the whole thing of course. Actually, most of the time that he is "eating" is really just him taking it apart bit by bit!
Samuel likes to share - here he is offering me a bite!
Last week David had his birthday. We got a carrot cake and sang to him - Samuel thought it was quite the show....just look at his excited face!!! (He really did like it - and he LOVED the carrot cake, I just must have snapped the picture at a funny moment.)This week Samuel was moved up at school to the next class. He is now in the toddler room. He is doing well learning the schedule of the new room. He loves the other kids in the class - he plays really hard and when he comes home, he is absolutely exhausted.
He is up to 4 teeth now and I think he is working on getting some more. He is still our happy little guy and so much fun to have around.
Also this week Samuel was awarded a scholarship at school! Woohoo!!!
Tomorrow David and I celebrate our 4th anniversary. A year ago today I was in the hospital not doing well at all. This past year has had its challenges and while it was hard, each day I became more and more grateful for my wonderful husband. He has been such a comfort and a strength. What a lucky girl I am! Through all of the challenges we have become stronger together! In summary - I love my David!
