Valentine's Day 2011

Valentine's Day was three times the fun this year with our newest addition. He got to attend the parties of both big sisters, and thankfully, they were happy about it. Here are some pictures.

At one week, you:
*are back to your birth weight
*sleep, sleep, sleep
*haven't quite figured out the art of eating
*hold your head up like a champ when you are being held on our shoulders
*have your sisters tied around your little finger
*make your Mommy fall in love more and more every day

We are so thankful God picked us to be your family!

Life With a Boy

Life with a boy is certainly different than life with two girls, but I wouldn't trade my mama's boy for the world!
