My heart leaps for {joy} yet sinks at the same time when I think on how fast this year has gone by and how much our sweet Samuel has grown and developed! It was one year ago that Joshua and I went into the hospital (almost exactly as I write this post at 6:45am) to welcome our first son into this world. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! WHAT A JOY!!!
I never really knew all the precious and tender moments we would experience in a year's time, but let me tell you: It has not only been the sweetest year in our marriage, but probably one of the sweetest years of our lives. God has blessed us beyond what we could have EVER imagined or hoped for by giving us Samuel Norton Clutterham. He brings so much joy, enthusiasm, laughter, and like I said PRECIOUS moments into our lives and we are so grateful that God has made us stewards over this little life.
As I scroll through the many pictures that have been taken of this awesome little guy (trying to give you all just a taste of joy that we get on a daily basis :), my eyes fill with tears as I am humbled by God's favor that He has bestowed on us! Here are just a few from Sam Sam's first year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMUEL!

What a sweet boy! He's going to make a great big brother.
ReplyDeleteThe picture with the coffee mug & newspaper is too funny! Thanks for inviting us to be part of the celebration. :) Hooray for Samuel!
ReplyDeleteHe is so adorable. I can't believe he's 1 (and a month, at this point)!! Time flies. And it's gonna fly even more when Georgia gets here :( We have to savor every moment! Joyful and sad!
