Happy Birthday Samuel

Samuel turned 6 on August 18th! Wow...time sure flies! Samuel's favorite gift was a new camo Bible with large print and his name on the front. How exciting for him to be able to read the Bible for himself! He was so excited that night. I think Justin and I each got 12 hugs from him. :)
Samuel loves to bike ride. He likes to build ramps or jump over stumps. He has a flock of chickens and keeps us supplied with eggs. He loves to go places with Justin. He likes to run fast, play hard, and sleeps hard at night. Unlike William, he likes to go to bed on time and wake up early. He enjoys having breakfast with Grandma Bobbie.:)
Samuel enjoyed swimming this summer! He took lessons and learned to be a stronger swimmer, learned to dive, and also braved the diving board!


I had him change clothes, and we quick grabbed a few pictures of him to remember him as a 6 year old.






I've watched Samuel grow in responsibility and initiave this year. He's becoming a huge help to our family team. I appreciate his cheerful attitude (most days) and his whistling while he does his chores. :)



Samuel has learned to read, is learning to play the piano, is learning to write neatly, and is memorizing God's Word. He loves to sing. His 2 favorite songs recently are "You Are Not a God Created" and "I Will Call Upon the Lord"

He loves hanging out with Isaac and Eva. William and Madeline are his good friends.

He had a very happy birthday, and I'm so thankful God has given Samuel to us for 6 years. I'm looking forward to this next year!
