Samantha infuses so much excitement and joy in our lives I sometimes wonder if she's Divine. She routinely says things like, "I'm so happy! Are you happy?" "I LOVE ____!" and my recent favorite, "I'm awake!" It's said with complete joy and delight; she can't get over it. And although she sometimes seems to have come without a volume knob, it never bothers me, even with my noise issues. Her volume is voluminous, luminous, exuberant, and utterly and thoroughly infectious.
This morning she was a little grumpy, but only because we weren't out of bed yet (5:00 AM!!). When she wakes up it's as if she regrets having slept sometimes; she can't think of having missed a moment to LIVE. As soon as I acquiesced, "OK, let's get up," she was elated. "OK!! Let's go downstairs! I'm AWAKE! I want my shoes!" And I'm not exaggerating the exclamation points at all.

Hi Jane! I'm finally commenting!
I noticed a little of that in Sam when we saw you guys last, it's wonderful and fascinating! I need to see more of her, and all of you! Love, Ellen
This is awesome. I'm going to try and be "awake"!
