Beautiful Day

If you follow the weather in ND, you would know these are from a while back.  They are from the last warm day we had here in ND.  Now it is bitterly cold, most days 10 degrees BELOW zero, and the ground is covered in snow and ice.  





Not sure....I asked nate to pose, and this is what he did.

Sam, someone's behind you....



Getting a brother picture is so hard when you're 3 and 10 months old

sweet boy

Well life has been good here, busy as always, but good.  Nate has his last day of school today before the 2 week break.  I work the holiday, and then we are hoping to head to SD to spend some time with family.  James is ecstatic to see cousins again.  

We will be in SD for Sam's birthday.  I can't believe he turns ONE.  It is unreal to me that my little baby is growing up so fast.  

I found out this week that I will being school to become a  Certified Nurse Midwife this spring.  I am so very excited.  I can't wait to begin!

Well hopefully I can update again soon.  Life just hasn't seemed to slow down, and I'm not sure that it will :)

12 Months of Love

So, in case you hadn't realized it, Sam turns 1 in a few short weeks!  I can't believe my baby is getting so big.  It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home on that cold December afternoon (making sure we made it home in time for the vikings game of course).  Here are 12 of my favorite pictures from the last year.  I love you Samuel Steven.
