Today is our nephew, Sam's birthday. I can't believe he is already four! The time has flown. He is the most fun and I have so enjoyed my time with this special little boy. We are so blessed to live close enough that I can see him and spend time with him frequently.
One quick story about my special little buddy. Scott and I got to watch Sam and Jack on Friday so that Tom and Staci could go on a date. Scott was tucking in Jack and I was tucking in Sam. We had spent a good bit of time reading books, talking, laughing, changing into different pajamas, and really, just procastinating. I told Sam it was time to say prayers and then say goodnight. He said, "Heidi, I think we should pray over there (pointing across the room.)" I thought he was surely delaying bedtime further. I said, "No Sam, we are going to pray right here." His response, "Heidi, I only wanted to kneel." Who am I to tell him that he can't bow on his knees before the Heavenly Father? We both bowed and prayed together. I love this little boy!
Happy Birthday Big Boy!!!
