Our Eyes Adored You!

Our first pictures of Sam!


Play date with Nalani and Ray

Our new potty!

Wednesday will make one year since we first laid our eyes upon Sam. It was May 7, 2007 around 4:30pm when our Adoption Agency Director, Pat, called us and asked "would you be interested in a boy"? Those words changed our life forever! It is hard to believe that has been one year. Of course, it took us 6 months before the Chinese government gave us the green light to go and get our child, but it was on May 7 that God answered our prayers and gave us the most precious gift of Samuel Duron Moss! Lord, how we love this boy! Now for an update on Sam.... the cast has been removed!!! YEAH!! It has been replaced by a splint that comes off so he can have a nice bath. You should have seen the look on his face when they removed the cast and he saw his arms and fingers! He kept touching them with the other hand to make sure they were really there. You can barely see a scar where he had the extra thumb. We also got a potty chair. Sam is getting use to the idea of using the potty... but right now he mostly enjoys playing with it because it plays music, lights up, and sings songs. We also just ordered Sam a car toddler bed (have we mentioned how much Sam loves cars??). We are hoping it will make the transition of moving out of the crib a lot more fun. He climbed out of the crib a few weeks ago (it was more like a fall, but Suze caught him before he hit the ground). We lowered it to the lowest point, but it is only a matter of time before he will climb over again.

Ray had a great time with Sam and Nilani! I need to get him a potty like that! He just picks up the little one he has and carries it behind his hiney instead of sitting on it. He stuffed some of Joe's wet socks under the removable bowl one day ... we're not sure how long ago ... pew-wee!

Sam's a cutie pie!
