Yesterday, our Samuel turned 5 years old. God is so good to us! After having Michael and Sarah, (especially when Sarah was just fixing to turn 7),we never thought we would have another child. Low and behold, what a shock we would get when we found out I was pregnant. It was truly a blessing. It didn’t happen in our time, but in God’s time! As all of our children have been, Samuel has definitely been a blessing to us. He keeps us laughing and on our toes. Samuel is 100% ALL boy. He loves being outside, digging in the dirt and playing video games. This year we will begin Kindergarten. He is so excited!
We asked Samuel what he would like to do for his birthday. He told us he wanted to go pick blueberries in the mountains. So we packed a picnic lunch and headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway. After a quick lunch, we headed for the blueberries. We had a wonderful time! I asked him what he wanted to do with the blueberries, and he said he wanted a blueberry cobbler. I am going to surprise him when he wakes up. He will have his blueberry cobbler this morning for breakfast. He is definitely a special little boy to us. God has truly blessed us!
Happy Birthday to Samuel!
