I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Well, my dream came true. As I sit here it is indeed snowing. It's fun to actually have snow on Christmas day! Samantha had such a fun time at both our "pretend Christmas" at my parents house and our real Christmas with Adam's family. I have tons of pictures but figured I'd better just pick a couple to share. You can tell how happy Sammi is to have her picture taken. We decided to try to bribe her with Skittles. It worked. In this next picture she is saying "woah" because my neices Lauren and Caity had helicopters that they were flying. She was cracking up thinking they were the coolest thing she'd seen.

Isn't Christmas morning the greatest?

And finally, just loving Jichan

Sorry Ladies

I just have to take a minute to say I have the BEST husband ever. I'm sure some of you will argue that you have the best husband, but you're wrong :). I have been amazed lately with how much he does for Samantha and I. Even when he comes home tired he always runs in the door to play with Sammi and spend time with her. He never complains about having a hard day at work and that he just needs a few minutes, even though I'm sure that many days he would like nothing more than to watch TV for a few minutes and be by himself. Just as an example, the other day he had been at work all day and right after work he had to pick us up while my windshield was getting replaced. Samantha hadn't been a trooper with her nap that day and was super cranky. The first thing he offers is that after we get my car back that I can go home while he runs some errands with her so I can have a break. I knew he was just as tired as I was, but AGAIN he was putting us first. Plus he cooks dinner almost every night. Now how many women get to say that? I could give a million other examples of how he helps us and I am continually amazed that he is such an unselfish and giving person. I am so incredibly lucky to have him!!

I decided to post a couple of my favorite older pictures of Samantha with Adam, enjoy.

Boy!

Okay, I was going to post the ultrasound pictures, but they aren't really that cool. Our little guy was moving too much to get many good shots. The tech said she'd never seen a baby move that much (really, don't tell me that, I already have one crazy kid and don't need another). I am beliving that the baby is getting all of his energy out now so that he'll be nice and mellow when he's born. Adam and I are SOOO excited and can't wait to get out there and shop!
