Samuel is two!

Happy Birthday little boy!

Samuel was born at home on April 13^th 2002.

He had a rough start, and we actually thought we might have lost him at first.

Well, the tough little boy has made it to the age of two and is perfectly healthy!

On his second birthday, we went out to Ci Ci’s pizza, where he loaded up on pizza and had himself a good sized chocolate brownie for desert. We had Marvin and Kathy Royse with us and “Grandma Kathy” brought along a can of cherries, which she had the infamous cherry pizza made for Samuel.

By the end of our day, Samuel was tuckered out, but he had fun too.

The next day he was all rested up, played with his toys very well.

We thank God daily for our children, they are His blessings to us,

so we try very hard to raise them properly so they will live for Him.

Samuel’s rough start is in some ways a bad memory, yet in other ways they are good.

The day he was born and I thought I might lose him. I found out how much I really do rely on Christ.

It was an eye opener for me. It also reminded me that my job as Mommy is a very important one.

“Thank you Lord, for these children, and the opportunity to be able to stay home and care for them.

They are life’s truest blessings to both Bob and myself.”
