Happy birthday sweet boy!

I can't believe a year has come and gone so quickly! It feels like just weeks ago that I was sitting in the hospital window seat, holding you in my arms, watching the trains go by from our room.   I remember thinking how perfect you looked. The only imperfection I could find was on the tip of your left ear...it was curled over on top of itself. Every nurse that held you seemed to mention it - i couldn't understand why they kept reassuring me that it would fix itself in a few days. It didn't bother me at all, in fact, I thought it was quite charming myself.  Well, they were right, it did straighten out and you began to grow and grow everyday! You were my only chunky baby and it took all I had not squeeze your little chubs to pieces!
 Here you are today...a happy, not so chubby, little ONE year old!
You make everyone smile with your 2 HUGE dimples, your silly scrunched up cheeser smile that do for everyone who sits behind us in church, I adore the manly way that you dance to Taylor Swift songs...let's just say i love EVERYTHING about you! Happy Birthday little sambo...now quit growing up, alright?

On a funny side note..

I went to tuck in Rachel and emily last night, Rachel started to cry. I asked her what was wrong, she said,"I don't want sam to grow up!" Then emily broke into tears too! Paul came in to see what all the crying was about. When I told him, he said " girls are strange" and walked off! I think I have 2 emotional little girls on my hands!

Every June I have to prepare for a baby boom! I swear, it is ALWAYS the month of babies! I won't complain, i LOVE the wrinkly little poopers to pieces and each one makes my heart melt. I especially love that I can just sweetly hand them back over to mommy when I am done playing with them!:) Stay tuned for more little bundles...I have 5 more due by the end of the month!

summer laziness...

I am a bit lazy on my blogging - we are too busy birthday partying, swimming, lagooning and just doing plain old NOTHING. It is FABULOUS! Okay, I will admit that the thought crosses my mind a few times a day "when does school start again?"  Yes, I LOVE them. Yes, the feedom is WONDERFUL. Yes, warm summer afternoons at the park are GRAND...but does the constant bickering between the little rugrats EVER stop? It is driving me up the wall!!! I have a ton of birthday / baptism day pictures still to come, but for today here are a few from some recent sessions!

a good day.

Yesterday was a good relaxing day, filled with yummy food and good company. I love Memorial Day - it is always a great way to kick off the summer! My little man looked to scrumptious not to photograph....
