Sammy Turns 3 Years Old

95 Comments

Sammy turned three years old today, October 12, 2015. In some ways it feels like we just brought him home from the hospital a week ago but in other ways it feels like he’s been around for a decade. Raising children (be it biological, step-kids, foster, adopted, or whatever) is NOT for the faint of heart.

The last year has brought many changes, as most years do. He’s talking really well, he’s pretty much completely potty trained, he started preschool about a month or so ago, and he’s generally doing a lot of things on his own that used to require our assistance.

There’s also a lot in our (mom and dad) lives that has changed. Work has evolved and morphed into new and different things, we’ve worked back into more time without Sammy (between preschool and babysitters), and I think there is a greater level of patience and enjoyment.

We had a birthday party for Sammy at our house on Saturday (the 10th) and we greatly appreciate all the people that came to enjoy the afternoon/ evening with us. There would have been more people there but we would have needed a 5,000 square foot house to accommodate everyone. Anyways…we genuinely want to thank everyone that came over and all of those that wished Sammy a Happy Birthday via other forms of communication.

To end, I must say that I’m pretty proud/ happy/ in awe of being able to watch Sammy grow up. Three years doesn’t seem like much to me at 38 (39 in November) years old but it really is. To see him go through all the transformations has been surreal, insane, and I guess most importantly, a privilege. Sure some days I wonder when he’ll move out and go do his own thing but when I have the luxury of stepping back like I do right now…it is absolutely amazing.

Happy Birthday, Sammy. I (and your mom) love you more than you’ll ever understand (maybe once you have kids) and the one way in which I know that is that we are trying to be better people every single day for ourselves, for each other, and for you.

  1. To Sammy-Happy Birthday Mr. It looks like you had lots of fun at your Birthday Party. I really like your Birthday Cup Cake “Cake”. It looked really yummy. Stay cool Mr.

    To Matt & Annie- I’m in such awe how you have documented Sammy’s birthday and everything from birth to now. Technology has made it so efficient and easy to keep your thoughts and pictures organized and easily archived and accessible. I would of love to of done this for Mathew. Can’t wait to read about Sammie’s next adventure.

  54. Blogging is my favorite reading medium, too. (Granted, I’m usually reading about sports, but it still counts as reading, right?) Those who do it well, like Jon, Glen, and the others here at Smart Blogger, are worth their weight in gold. 
    To be able to take a complicated concept and break it down into easily digestible blog posts that are the size of a small eBook is a skill for sure.

  56. Going back to your text, I think it’s good for many bloggers and those who post more of their blog entries they enjoy, contribute more positively to the debate.
    But this is the scenario of the Brazilian political blogosphere. I think that in other countries the same thing should happen.

    I am really impressed with your writing skills as well as with
    the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
    Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is
    rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.
