Sam is seven today. When I asked him what 7 meant, he responded "It's about my birth."
Sam was born after laboring off and on July 4th and 5th. I went into 'active' labor 10pm the 5th and he was born at 7.10am the 6th after his shoulders were FINALLY unstuck. (the attending midwife was calling 911 directly before he was born.....he just wouldn't come out!) He weighed in at 9#13oz. and was 21 inches long. (BTW his shoulder circumference was 17 inches.)
His is the most positive kid I know. He loves to look at biology books and watch on-line surgeries with his Grandpa.....hum....a doctor in the making??? Notice I didn't say I watched the surgeries! I DON'T! He'll play sports but he loves to read more. In fact his love of reading gets him into trouble at times. I'll remind him to complete a task, but 15 minutes later I'll find the task still undone and his nose in a book! His favorite color is red and fav. dinner is spaghetti with sauce and veggies on the side. He is jovial. I love his laugh! He prays with confidence and will tell you what God thinks about things. (He knows what it right and will let YOU know too).
Happy Birthday Buddy. Love you.
There was trouble in posting the pictures today.....too big and out of order....

I always figured that the moms should get special recognition on the birthdays of their kids, too! You are one of the most special moms I know, Katy! I'm so blessed to have you raising 4 of my grandkids! Love you much, Mom : )
It is exciting to see what God has in store for Sam! He is being prepared, even know, for his purpose in Christ.
You are so right about his boldness with his convictions. You and Ben are doing a great job. I am so glad Eli has Sam for a buddy. lv anna
This is too funny. Bryce's 7th birthday is next Friday (the 13th) I ended up having a c-section because he was also too big to fit. I opted for a c-section without hesitation after they explained to me that using the vacuum, they could probably get out his head, but they may have to break his clavical in order to get his shoulders to fit! We were pregnant and (almost) laboring at the same time and we never knew! Oh! And Bryce was exactly 9lbs.
Happy Birthday Sam! Hugs from, Auntie Heather and Boston
Mom, your sweet! So are you Anna, and Kristi and Heather! That is weird Kristi!
It's weird, the whole family was watching a movie and Sam just looked bigger all the sudden. His fac e looked more mature and just OLD! I remember when Sis went through one of thoes times.
Love to you all!
I noticed, too, today while they were in the pool, he seems to have turned a corner about being the biggest brother and the rampage of the pool! What a character! Mom : )
