9 Years Ago Today

My firstborn, Samuel Joel, was brought into this world on September 25, 2001. I loved him before he was even born and my Sammy is nothing short of a blessing! It aches me to not be with him on his special day, but I am glad to know that his daddy is there with him today. (Joel arrived just hours before the boys did at the airport last night!)  Sam was happy to sacrifice celebrating his birthday with me in order to bring Darya home :-)  He is a sweet, compassionate, kind, handsome, smart, and talented boy and it is my privilege to be his mother and watch him grow into a godly young man.

Most of my pictures are on the external hard drive back home, but I managed to find this one on my laptop of Sam making his birthday cake from last year.

I love you Sam and hope you're having a wonderful birthday!! I'll be giving you lots of hugs and kisses when I get home!!

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY SAM!
One year ago today, making his 8th birthday cake :-)

  6. Marianne,
    It is nice to see the kids tonight. JJ enjoyed so much with the kid, esp Nat. JJ gave 2 masks for Nath.

    They love one another so much :)

    Miss you
    Jamy
