Saw this quote on Adoption Network:

A baby is a miraculous gift from God, no matter how one receives it. Some are given the ability to bear them, others the ability to rear them. - Anonymous

Thomas the Train

Had a fun day with Thomas the Train! He absolutely LOVED it!

Play Time...

Samuel and I are having play time this morning. He drags his lego blocks out and starts building on his lego table. There is a lego man who he tells me is Mr. Benji. He then tells me he's building a Journey Church. This kid just cracks me up sometimes!! I think he can see the future :-)

The things he says....

Samuel was good all week at school so I picked him up a surprise on my way to get him. He came home and told his Daddy about his surprise and then looked at me and said, "wow dude, you hooked me up today Mama!"

Saw this and loved it:

My adoption was treated as a celebration. (Wow, shouldn’t every one of our children be able to say the same?!?) ~ Michael Reagan So very true in our situation thanks to our family and Samuel's birth family.

The things he says...

I get home from work after a horrible day to find Chad has brought me home roses. Sam looks at me and says, "did you get married for those?" He was very serious!! I told him yes 10 years ago.

Cam and Sam....

This one is funny to me!

Lights out...

Our power was out for over an hour. Samuel just didn't understand as kept asking us to turn on the lights. :-) After the 10th time of trying to explain it just became kinda funny.

Last time drinking from sippy cup.....

SNIFF! SNIFF!

Poem

You gave him birth
We'll give him life
You gave him todays
We'll give him tomorrows

...You gave him race
We'll give him identity
You gave him heritage
We'll give him future

You gave him possibilities
We'll give him potentials
You gave him up
We'll have to let go

You dream of his future
We'll work hard for your dreams to come true
You gave him hope
We will too.
