I realized that I haven't taken cute pictures of my boys for a while, so what better day than Valentine's Day to have a photo session with my little sweets? As usual, some of the pictures turned out better than others (and don't you love the navy blue bedspread in the background?) but we got a couple of good ones!
Here are some of the funny poses:
Since it's the Day of Love, I would like to take a moment and share with the online world how grateful I am for my dear friends and family. A few days ago, a terrible shooting happened in Salt Lake City. As soon as I turned on the TV and saw the news, I immediately dialed my in-laws' number and felt a huge wave of relief when Marilyn answered the phone. We laughed a bit because just a few minutes earlier, Chris had called her from work for the same reason. Even though I felt so grateful that my family was unaffected by this tragedy, my heart ached for those people who lost loved ones that night. I think we all take our lives for granted-- our safety, the people around us-- we don't often take the time to appreciate these gifts the way we should. In light of this, I hope to be able to show more love to the important people in my life, and more respect for the security I've been blessed with. To all of my friends and family: I love you so much!

I was the third to call and I feel the same way you do about all this. As for the boys, they are so sweet and cute. And finally, job well done painting that cute room. It looks great! See you soon...
I can't tell you how deeply the Trolley shootings have affected me. It is a place Gary and I frequent often and our favorite stores are the ones most brutally affected. My heart races just thinking about the families affected by the senseless violence. I am so blessed to have a family I love so much and who loves me and Gary in return!
Very scary stuff to happen so close to home! You just never know when your life could take a turn! I am glad you and all of your loved ones are safe and my sympathies go out to the families affected by this horrible act.
--On a happier note...Your kids' pictures are darling! I love them in black and white.
I aggree, what a terrible tragedy so close to home. I didn't find out until a couple of day's later and I was assured by Andy that no one we know was hurt. The pictures you took of Tom and Gord are sooooo cute. They are getting so big!
