This child made me a mother and changed my life forever

So Sam is turning five and I have been reflecting a ton today. Tomorrow is supposed to be a cold one the first really cold day this fall, just like the day he was born and it is really taking me back. Sam started it all. Now I have three beautiful children and tomorrow is the day to celebrate my first. Sam was the happiest baby and always smiled and laughed and brings me so much joy.


My all time favorite picture of Sam...this was him, his joy.


About two months old with a puppy suit I payed alot for I loved it so much.



With first friend Oliver Johnson...so many pics of these two.


I can't seem to turn this around on this old disc with old programming, but I have to show it anyways. This is Auntie Robin, who was there to help deliver Sam along with Sarah Johnson, and such a really good friend to me, and Sam. If God Parents were a part of my religion, Robin would definately be Sam's Godmother.


This may not be my Mom's favorite picture, but I love it. It shows what a good sport Mom was (she hates dogs mostly), this is when she came just after Sam was born. She and Steph barely missed it. They were to be here for the delivery, but I was suprised when he came a day after his due date, he was supposed to be born a week later, when I could be induced. Anyways you can tell I was nieve new Mom thinking that it would go as I planned.


Sam just after being born, I can hardly remember.


In his exersaucer about 6 months, you can see that Adriana looks just a little bit like Bro. Sam
