Sammy boy at 6

My sweet boy Samuel celebrated his LONG AWAITED birthday with a few friends and cousins at Seven Peaks. He learned to swim this summer and has thus deemed himself ruler of all things water.



A tradition Brett brought into the marriage is the present game, "Heavy, Heavy Hangover." The person giving the gift dangles the gift over the birthday recipients head and repeats the rhyme, "Heavy, heavy hangover thy poor head what do you wish this person with a bump on the head?" They then give a little thump with the gift and are given a wish in return. In Samuel's case the party goers were wished super speed, super strength and special ninja powers.

I just love this age. He has new found independence but is definitely not too old to give his mom a smooch in public when necessary.



Probably the highlight of his birthday was spending time with this little dolly, Analea. More on her visit soon.

Christiana and I are going crazy over the cuteness of Samuel! He looks so big with his big boy haircut and all. :) Happy Birthday!

He is a ninji boy with lots of powwas! Looks like a great party. Can't belive he's already six! Can you slow all of this down a bit. The kids are growing up too fast!
