Samuel Justice is 3!


Where has time gone?! Three years ago, today at 4:54 a.m. we welcomed Samuel Justice into our family. He has changed us so much! We've had so many fun memories with him. He has brought so much laughter into our home, caused us to think about life choices, increased our capacity to love, taught us long-suffering, and faith, and has caused us to seek God for more grace. He was our little life-changer. Our plan was to wait 2 years to have children, but God decided otherwise, and gave us this fun little guy 37 weeks after our wedding day. Life has been full since he's arrived. We love you buddy!





Samuel is sensitive, funny, always has a "good idea", loves to chew gum and ride his bike. He's always seemed older than his age to me...but maybe that's because he's a firstborn. He's very helpful and cheerful most of the time. Justin and I pray that he will stand for Truth and follow Jesus Christ all of his days. May God bless you, Samuel, with wisdom, understanding, discretion, knowledge, and integrity...that you may impact your generation for the Lord.








"My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother; Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee: and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee..." Proverbs 6

Samuel,
You share a birthday with my Naomi and she turned 3 as well! Sadly, she had the chicken pox this birhday! How do you like being a big brother to a sister? She is so beautifl. William and my Mary Beth almost share a birthday as well. Mary Beth turned one on July 8.
Blessings,

Belated Happy Birthday Samuel ... John and I were listening to music from your mom's DVD that we got from a friend and we saw that you were very little in it. You look great now. Enjoy your little brother and sister!
