Happy Birthday, Sam!

Today our Sammy turns 8.  He is an amazing kid.  Just last week he won a Chicken Polka dance contest, while wearing roller skates, and it was the first time he had ever attempted the Chicken Polka.  That pretty much sums up Sammy.

Sam, I can't believe how quickly you went from this (there's no sound on the first one because I had a horrible camera back then):

I just realized that he wore the same shirt to Kindergarten graduation as he did for his second grade concert last week!  At the second grade concert, in case it's hard to tell, he is introducing a song by saying, "Our first stop is school, a place we think is cool.  Mrs. Reneau (gym teacher) tries her best to get us moving with plenty of zest."

Today we are thankful for you, Sammy!
