Sammer Jammer

So we had a rough start with this little guy but now he is healthy and sleeping and life is good. I love this boy so much. I look forward to getting him out of bed every day. He is hilarious and makes everyone laugh all the time. He loves to dance and will shake his head and hips anytime he hears music. He just learned how to walk around with his walker but gets frustrated when he runs into the wall and gets stuck. He just learned his first word, "cheese", which is also his favorite food. We, of course, think he is very smart because he can mimic lots of animal sounds. He is into everything and keeps me very busy, but we are so thankful to have him in our family. He is my only child to have dimples and he has them in both cheeks. He is so stinkin' cute! ...but I know I am biased.

Yes, I realize his jammies are too big but I am tired of him growing out of all his clothes every 2 months.

Mom's birthday

My mom's birthday isn't until Friday, but we celebrated early because she is leaving out of town for a month. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Harvest, at Thanksgiving Point. My mom is the absolute best! She always does so much for all of her kids. She really helped me through this last, difficult year and Jeff and I will be forever grateful. On top of all that, she has let all 6 of us live downstairs in her brand new house. That could not have been easy. We love you mom!

Keri will be mad at me for posting this picture. She didn't want to have her picture taken.
