Happy Birthday, Samson!

Our baby is five years old! Our first baby, Samson, is celebrating a birthday today. The weather wasn't good enough for a trip to the park, so instead Charlie and I took Samson to Pets Mart for a little shopping. We picked up a new toy, collar, and puppy water bottle for Samson. He even had a special birthday dinner tonight.

Samson has had a lot of adjusting to do since Charlie came home in March. He went from being the center of attention to having to share the spot light with his brother. Instead of showing any signs of jealousy, Samson has taken it all in stride. He leaves all of Charlie's toys alone and is very gentle with him. If Charlie is getting too rough with him, Samson will just walk away. Nick and I hope that as Charlie grows up he and Samson will become buddies.

Samson has been such a happy addition to our family. It is hard to believe it has been five years already. We feel very fortunate to have him in our lives and hope that he knows just how much we love him.

Samson always rested his head on my pregnant belly.

My boys!

He may not be a lap dog, but he sure does LOVE to cuddle.
