Lesson 638: QuaranTeen

Good day, Readers!
It is a good day!
Amidst the coronavirus crisis
we find things to celebrate.

Sam,
the Lamp Post little brother
with the great big heart
turns 13 today.



Sam,
things regarding you always come along at just the right time.
You were our surprise baby,
and have added so much joy to our lives
 that we never expected to have.
You are a gift.
(stop the eye rolling, Ellen).

This is what our family looked like when you came to us.

And here we are now.

You've been a champ throughout this change in lifestyle,

although, you are in dire need of a hair cut.

You've served as the best 

assistant lumberjack a parent could ask for.

You've also become the ultimate geocacher!

You are doing your darndest to choke down your vegetables.

(check out the corona carrot found in the baby carrot bag!

Exponential growth!)

You've been getting outside every day 

to get some healthy air and sunshine.

Most importantly,

 your sense of humor

still shines through despite your worry.

We are proud of you

for how well you are handling

or nation's walk away from sports.

You were our snuggliest baby,

who grew into the most animated child.

Enjoy some highlights from the past year of your life.

The video is set to the world's most timely old song--

You Can't Touch This

by MC Hammer.

Love you, Sam!
