Happy Birthday, Sam!

Perfect love sometimes does not come until grandchildren are born.
          ~Welsh Proverb

Three years ago my oldest grandson Samuel made an early appearance on Thanksgiving night. He arrived earlier than expected, so Grandma was still home in Indiana when the call came. But she headed off to Maryland and arrived the day he and his mommy got home from the hospital.

It was love at first sight for this grandma... and still is. Watching him grow has been a thrill, despite how far away we live from one another. Sam is, quite frankly, adorable. He is all boy-- a little buster who loves to run and jump and throw... and his laugh is boisterous and infectious. He certainly has charmed his Grandma Barb!

I look forward to seeing him soon and wishing him a happy birthday in person, but because this is his day, I want to wish him a very happy third birthday!

Here are a few photos Grandma has of Sam over the years:

 Grandma loves you, Sam!!
