Today was probably one of the worst days of my life (big sigh here). For those of you who live in Texas you understand the ramifications and seriousness of the TAKS test; for those of you who are educators, you will understand me when I say that coordinating the TAKS test for a bunch of middle-schoolers is down right horrific! It's chaotic, it's stressful, it's depressing knowing that some students simply do not have the skills to perform on grade level and to say the least, it makes for a long, tiresome day.
But, thank God for our caseworker who sent us the most beautiful pictures of Samuel today! There's just no way I could stay in a bad mood after seeing, for the first time I might add, Samuel's smile. Up to this point, all of the pictures we've received have been taken in a more serious and compliant mode. But, not today folks! By George I think we have a smile and from the most handsome young boy I've ever seen! Truly he is...and I'm not just saying that because he's my future son...he is dashing!
I can't wait to get that little boy on a plane home to Texas!

I'm so glad you finally got more pictures of your little guy! I'm sure you're starting to get a feel for his personality. Can't wait to meet him. Your court date sure is a popular one. Looks like you won't be traveling alone. How fun!

LOVE IT!!!!
Has anyone ever told you that you look similar to a pig when you smile?
Made you smile didn't I? :-)
Oh, I can't wait to see sweet Samuel's smiling face!
