Welcoming February with open hearts

(Not my picture)

Even more important than being the month for lovers, February is the official American Heart Month. Eden and I love hearts of all kinds and we'll take any excuse to celebrate and cherish the healthy hearts in our lives. We have already pulled out the heart decor and planned a few fun crafts. We will also be wearing red everyday, participating in some sort of exercise (everyday!), and cutting back on the animal products in our food. And last, but not least, we have the huge goal of finally writing to her donor family.

Stay tuned as we'll include you on this journey....

P.S. Does jumping on the bed count as exercise?

"Congenital heart defects are the #1 cause of birth defect related deaths. 1 in 3 children who die from a birth defect have a congenital heart defect."

This one is for Grammy

Brian's mom was just here, visiting and helping with the kids, as she left she said she needed an updated photo of the two kids together. This is the best I could come up with... it may be time for another visit with Lori.

Why is it so impossible to get a good photo of them both?

Every picture seems to have at one kid undressed...

One rear-end...

One silly face...

Or one stuffed in a shopping cart.

P.S. Thank you for everything, Susan. You take such good care of us!

the more you eat,

the more you....

Bride to be

(sniff, sniff...)

Eden thinks she is the wedding expert. The newest words in her vocabulary include: "bouquet", "veil", and... get this.... "honeymoon"!

So I decided to interview her about getting married. Here's how it went:

1. How do you pick who you are going to marry?

"One of your friends comes from a different state."

2. What is it called when you get asked or you ask someone else to marry you?

"Enraged"

3. What do you wear to your wedding?

"A beautiful gown - kinda like a dress, a veil on your head and flowers in your hands."

3. What do you exchange with your husband or wife during the wedding?

"A little gift or a present. I would want some lipstick."

4. What do you do at a wedding?

"You walk down the isle, kiss, and then throw your bouquet."

5. Where do the bride and groom go after they are married?

"Upstairs to get their baby"
