Julissa thinks it is her birthday!


Eight years ago today, Samuel came rushing into the world. He came so fast his face was bruised. While still in the delivery room he drank a half ounce of formula. His sugar was low and he needed food. He still seems to have that problem on occasion. His younger brother was sleeping through the night before he was. He would get up in the night to drink a cup of milk and then go right back to sleep. Two months after he was born we packed up and moved several hours north. We are still there today. He has basically known no other house than this one. He is my child who loves to read books of the wild west, indians, cowboys, etc. It is hard to believe eight years have gone by since his birth.
