Samuel John *Sam* and Jennifer Nicole *Jen*
...Proud Parents To...
DS: Jude Hamilton Luis (1)

---

Jude is now a year old...how time does fly! He is a very active little boy; he loves to run around the house and outside. He started crawling at about 9 months, started walking around 11 months old, and hasn't stopped since...he always seems to be on the move! He's talking quite a bit now and has been since about 10 1/2 months. His favorite toys to play with are his cars and trucks, and he loves ice cream. He's not too fond of thunder, although he likes to watch the rain fall. Jude is definitely a daddy's boy and looks a lot like Sam with dark blonde hair and brown/green eyes.

Sam is still working as a news anchor and reporter at a local television station, and I am still teaching sixth grade. It hasn't been too hard managing work and family life, although we have our days when Jude doesn't like to stay in daycare. He is at a local daycare, and he will start preschool at the same facility in a couple of years.

Overall, though, we've had a wonderful first year as parents. We couldn't be more blessed to have the most adorable little boy in the world as our son!
