Sam

Too often, Sam doesn't get the good press that he should. 
His sister is bright enough, his youngest brother is cute enough and his middle brother is NATE enough that sometimes Sam gets over looked.  
He is kind, caring, intelligent, intuitive and empathetic.  He has many traits we chalk up to "Sammy being Sammy" that life just wouldn't be the same without. 
The gains he is making in school this year are remarkable.  He loves it.  He loves to read. 
Trains, Star Wars, Super Heroes. 
He is a sponge for learning. 
He is an original.
