One of Samuel's helpers has been waiting for the arrival of his baby, whose due date was Christmas day. I got a call from him this morning with the good news that his wife gave birth this morning to a healthy baby boy! Congratulations! Another of Samuel's helpers is a good friend of theirs and generously made herself available during the week of Christmas, and much of last week, to assist them, but the baby had other plans I guess! She wasn't able to help them after all because she is now on vacation, visiting her family.
Our family has been fortunate to have help from both of these individuals with Samuel for almost a year and a half now. We have help from two other people as well, but they do not work as regularly. They all have their own ways of interacting with Samuel and I am glad that he is able to have a variety of people helping him (and me!).
I stand corrected, I found out that the friend was present at the baby's delivery after all! His baptism is next weekend. I cannot wait to see him! I saw his picture and he is soooo darling. I miss having a baby! My 40 pound 3 year old is still my baby, but I miss the little newborn kind!

Congratulations indeed. The best laid plans and all that.
Cheers
I am so happy to hear this news! I saw her over Christmas and could tell that the time was near!
I hope some other help comes in this next week for you and Samuel!
