Tonight I am taking a break from the daily grind to update you on some of the "firsts" that Samuel has enjoyed. On April 30th, Samuel's cousins from his daddy's side of the family came to visit him for the first time.
On May 1st, Samuel enjoyed his first trip to the St. Louis Zoo with his Uncle Nick, Aunt Katie and 3 cousins.
On May 2nd, Samuel enjoyed his first trip to church where he was welcomed by so many people.
On May 3rd, Samuel had his first trip to his doctor's office. He liked some of the visit, definitely DID NOT LIKE having his blood drawn. It took 2 different visits with 3 adults to hold him down for a combined 1 hour and 30 minutes as 3 different lab technicians attempted to draw his blood with only one lab technician succeeding both times.
On May 11th, Samuel was visited by his first friend from the U.S., Judd the Bud
On May 14th, Samuel went out to eat with his daddy and mommy for the first time at Bully's BBQ.
On May 15th, Samuel met Grandpa and Grandma Myers for the first time.
Here is a picture of 3 generations of Myers.
On May 28th, Samuel received his first haircut.
On May 29th, Samuel met Grandpa and Grandma Boyd for the first time.
On May 31st, Samuel went to his first parade. It was so cute watching our new U.S. citizen waving the American flag!
On June 3rd, Samuel encountered his first dog. His name was Skittles.
On June 5th, Samuel took his first road trip to Louisville, KY to visit his friends Joel and Lee-Anne.
Here he is with his friend Lee-Anne and her daughter that they adopted from China.
On June 6th, Samuel had a blast celebrating adoption for the first time with six other children in Louisville, KY
It was at the celebration where he went swimming for the first time and LOVED it. He swam in the pool for 1 hour and 30 minutes with Daddy and a friend who was adopted from China.
On June 7th, Samuel took his first trip with our youth group to Six Flags, St. Louis.
He rode his first few amusement park rides. The first one was the S.S. Feathersword Play Ship
Then he rode Daffy Duck's Hot Air Balloons.
He liked swimming with Daddy and Mommy in the kiddie pool at Hurricane Harbor.
After swimming he rode on the SFSTL Railroad.
And he finished his day off with a fun ride on the Ferris Wheel.
Next week Samuel will take his first mission trip with our youth group to Shepherds Ministries in Wisconsin.
