Happy 7th birthday, Sam!
A tug-o-war to kick off an afternoon of fun and games with 10 of Sam's classmates. Click for more pictures...
Dear Sam – very happy birthday to you! We can’t believe you are 7 already, but then again, we certainly can. We have seen you grow and mature so much each year, and have so many happy memories it is equally hard to believe it’s been a mere 7 years. Haven’t you been a part of our lives from the start? We hope you had a really fun time with all those guys over today. They seemed to enjoy themselves and we had a lot of fun with them. I’m exhausted now. I had no idea just how much physical work it is to keep up with 11 guys. I really loved playing kick the football with them, and soccer. We hope you have a wonderful seventh year, and we look forward to seeing what you do next. Just for the record – in case you ever want to know what you were up to when you turned 7 – you are soooo excited about marble runs, you play your electric guitar really well and even have a portable amp to go with it now, you are a great student in school and reportedly only get the “sillies” every now and then but quiet right down when you do, and have fun at recess. You are a mature, loving and intelligent boy. We couldn’t be luckier parents – we respect you and admire you, and love you so very much. Happy birthday!
Poignant! What a legacy of memories you are leaving for your children.
WOW! I can hardly believe these are the same boys! Sam is growing into quite a young man. So smart and so handsome. You are doing an excelent job there “GIRLIE” Keep it up. Enjoy the PACWEST and thanks so much for your great Aloha list you posted on the last Island. We will be using that one before the year is out. Miss you all.
You are the best mom! so creative. The librarian and I are taking a group on an educational hike. We will hit the Judd Trail, the ruins and the trail that connects the Pali lookout to the Koolau golf course.
I am putting together information cards on the trees, history, old Pali road, etc…
So, during my search, I found a photo of a pretty red-head woman with two little boys in backpacks… heee heee.
I hope you are well. Your photos show a happy family.
