Happy Birthday, Samuel

It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since our "Samuel the Orange" came into our family.  He's "Samuel the Orange" because he insists his hair is orange, not red and will not let us call him "Red".  If we try we're told, "My name is Orange!"  I will be honest and say that I love his hair; I've always loved "orange" hair and I've hoped since Grant was born that we'd have one.  People always say that red heads are fiery and full of personality; I'm not sure if it's the hair or not, but Samuel definitely fits this.  Life for the past three years hasn't been dull by any stretch of the imagination.  Samuel is sweet and loveable, funny and silly, stubborn and independent...all within a matter of minutes some times.  Even with all of that personality, I wouldn't trade one bit of it for anything.  He brings so much life, energy and happiness to the family.

Mr. Personality!!!

Happy Birthday my sweet, sweet Samuel.  I can't wait to see what this next year holds for all of us.
