Samuel

This is my four-year-old brother Samuel.  The sticker on the forehead is temporary.  So is the spiked hair.

Sam's one of the orderly kids in the house—my mom was so excited when he actually wanted to clean his room for the first time, or make sure that the napkins and forks are placed just right on the table.  He's the oldest boy in the house, and despite the spoiling he's gotten from his four older sisters, he's good at playing crash the car with Isaiah.

This is Samuel's "Baby Tractor" (a kid's John Deere Gator).  Sam's so fond of the thing that it's been replaced once when the old one (a hand-me-down from friends) broke down from the constant use.  Seeing Samuel outside in the summer without Baby Tractor is pretty close to seeing a pig fly.

  Samuel's a sweet little boy, a favorite among his family and friends.  One of his many talents is helping people out—something I'm sure he'll be known for a long time!
