The little things...


What fun it is to delight in the little things, the simple things that bring so much joy! We could not have imagined how incredible it would be to be parents. We absolutely love it! Sam is a source of laughter and entertainment for us. Each morning when we hear him waking up, Scott and I race in his room. When we roll him over, he rubs his eyes, looks up at us, then grins as if to say "Good Morning". Neither of us want to miss that part of our day. Bath time has become fun as Sam splashes the water with his fists. His smiles are contagious. I love the way you can cup his little bottom in your hand when he's sleeping. It's funny to watch him jump in his Johnny Jumper because he looks back at you as if to say, "Check me out, look what I can do!" You have to laugh even when the gross mishaps happen... Like this morning, for example, Sam decided to work on his diaper during his first feeding. He was really hot, so I took his pj's off. That was a mistake, needless to say. I ended up with you-know-what all over my pajama pants. Good thing I was not already dressed for church. Those pants will never be the same!

You are so right about the little things being the best things. Those are the moments to cherish forever in your lives. Sam looks so cute and so happy. Loved the sleeping little angel pic, and can't wait to see him taking a bath. You both are great parents and it shows in your actions and words. Keep the pics coming, they make us smile and feel warm all over with love.

Love you,

Khaki and Papa K
