Communication 101

"Mon!"
It's Samuel's way of saying "come on".

"Top dat!"
Samuel's way of saying...well, you can figure out that one.

"That?"
It's Samuel's way of asking "what's that?"

And to answer that question...


That is a little boy serious about playing "Tar Wa" (Star Wars)

That is the same little boy full of pride in his Spiderman sticker placement.

And that is a little determined guy who demanded to 
carry the backpack he himself could easily fit inside.

Eight months home and feeling the transition is going well.  Better than well, actually. We've watched and waited for his grieving process, fearing we had missed it.  We have been careful to show him our unconditional love in the midst of teaching opportunities. Yet here we are 8 months home and happily strolling through life as a family of 4.  We are GRATEFUL!  Moments like these help me to realize that God's grace has been more than enough.  I still sit here in utter disbelieve when I look back on our time together.  That's not to say that Samuel won't face heart-breaking questions and emotional battles in the future as he grasps his history and losses.  But, for now we're enjoying this time together and watching him blossom into a curious, active, determined little munchkin. 

Being a determined (read strong-willed) 2 year old boy in our house provides many opportunities for teaching.  Surely God will use Samuel's determination in a great way.  He knows there's more than enough determination readily available and easily accessible   He's quite a character whether lip syncing in the backseat, demanding to play "Tar Wa", or cuddled up on the couch reading book after book after book.  Samuel adds a little something special to our family!


Our Spider Monkey

Who remembers doing this as a child?  


Our Spider monkey

Allegedly training for American Ninja Warrior

Joey claims he's training for American Ninja Warrior.  Truly, I think he would literally climb the walls even if he had never seen that show.  Both of our boys are part monkey.  Mostly monkey, if you ask me.  This is probably only the beginning!  

 Entertainer Mode: Putting on a dance show

And our big boy begs to go to bed.  When asked about kindergarten, 
he is not shy to admit that he misses nap time.  And so, he's usually fast 
asleep before we even walk out of his room.


And so the adventures of the Webb boys continue...
