V Day!

Someone once told me that having a child is like your heart walking around on the outside of your body... Very true.  I do love me some Valentine's day!

Family Valentine's day gift.  A bike!! Just when I thought I couldn't crave warm weather anymore..  There are going to be lots of hours logged on this thing.  I am so excited!! Sam loves it too!  And yes, Sam does have on a helmet.  I on the other hand do not.. that is just my new short haircut.  It does get helmet-ish every now and then.  :)

  

I am one lucky lady for these fine men to BE MINE!! 

Thank the Lord for wonderful friends who constantly inspire me.  I love reading blogs and definitely more so than blogging but it is such an awesome way to document this wonderfully awesome life!!!  I just read my great friends' blogs and through laughs and happy tears of how proud I am of my friends and their awesome families, I was inspired to get back on purejoy and add some thoughts and pics of our past few months!  Lewis gave me a book of purejoy for Christmas this year and it was definitely my favorite gift.  I loved reading through the first year of Sam's life and I can't believe how much he has grown and how much we have grown as a family!!!  Even since he turned a year, he has grown and changed so much!  I Love you so much bud and I am so proud of you!!
