Uncle Sam


This post is for Sam.

Sam is the baby of my family and the only boy. Poor guy, he knows way too much about girly things. Hopefully that will make him a better husband someday. Sorry, Sam, for teasing you so much. The good thing is he has three brother in laws- that helps even things out a bit for him.

He currently is serving a two year mission for the LDS church in Mexico City, Mexico. He has been there for almost five months. We all miss him a lot, but I think his nieces and nephews miss him the most. Sam is a great uncle and the kids love to be around him.

Gabe is constantly asking, "What time is it where Sam is?", "What is he doing right now?" When I asked Gabe what he likes most about Sam he said to ride on his back. Sam always had one of his nieces or nephews on his back and most times the rest are running right behind him, fighting to get the next ride. He is so much fun and we hope he doesn't completely grow up while gone- we all like the fun kid in him.

Sam spent most of the summer with us before his mission. Gabe was in heaven!

That is what my kids miss the most too, getting a ride on Uncle Sam's back. Aubrey wrote him a letter asking when he was going to come home so he could give her a ride on his back.

What a cute tribute to your brother. I still can't believe little Sam is on his mission.
