Samuel's Day

It's 12:31am, and I'm sitting here thinking. Today is Samuel's birthday. He turns 6 years old. I remember this time 6 years ago, starving because my c-section required that I not eat 12 hours prior to it. I remember thinking of how in less than a day my life was going to change. It did. For the better. I was scared of that c-section because for JM's I had not been awake. This was my first birth to actually experience. I did not know what to think or expect, yet I had a child already. How strange was that?

Samuel came into this world charming everyone. He melted hearts immediately, and I remember breaking the rules that first night and climbing out of my hospital bed so I could pick him up...or just to stare at him.




He grew so fast, and I had my first digital camera (luckily) to more than capture all those wonderful memories.











I can tell from looking at these photos when I upgraded cameras and when I started learning more and more about photography.



Hard to believe he was just about 4 here. He's not changed too much has he.


these are all from 2007....



This was just a short 1 year ago...





Then we have 2008...











So, Happy 6th Birthday my special little man! I love you more to the MOON and BACK a gazillion million times.
