Snow!

We woke up to snow Sunday morning. Sam was so excited. He was screaming.. "Mama, Daddy.. it nowing, it nowing"! We quickly got dressed and went out to play in the snow at 7am. We ended up getting about a 1/2 inch... but it was wonderful while it lasted! After a hot breakfast and hot chocolate we got ready for church. The snow was coming down hard, but it wasn't sticking to the street so it was the best of both worlds. We had such a fun time. I also have to share a story with my blogger friends. Nick and I recently joined FaceBook. Nick is new to social networking and is not use to the lingo that we use. For example.. lots of people have been writing him and ending their sentences with LOL. Last night while reading an entry he asked me what does LOL mean. I told him it meannt "laughing out loud". He said the only thing he could think of was "love our Lord"... we were "laughing out loud" over that one!! Now, every time I read LOL I will always think "love our Lord"!!

Cowboy Sam

Nick's parent came to visit us last weekend. Sam LOVES his Pop Pop and Nai Nai (Nai Nai is Chinese for paternal grandmother). The feeling is more than mutual. As the picture and video shows, Nai Nai will do just about anything to make Sam laugh!

48 is GREAT

Nick celebrated his 48th birthday Sunday Feb. 1. He was thrilled because it was also superbowl Sunday! I started the day by making some heart shaped apple cinnamon muffins then it was off to church. After church we had a nice lunch of some barbecue followed by birthday cake and ice cream. We ended the day watching the big game. Nick is such a loving father to Sam. It is amazing how much they are alike. I am very blessed to be Nick's wife. He makes me laugh and I love the fact that he has a HUGE tender heart!! My dear husband, you are loved very much!

The week in Video

Sam is growing up so fast. The videos show him helping me bake his Daddy a birthday cake, reading his favorite book "Brown Bear Brown Bear" and counting to 20. Of course he really isn't reading (yet) he has pretty much memorized the words... but it shows how quickly he absorbs everything around him. He has an awesome memory and he loves to learn new things. Can you tell we are proud parents?? Be sure and go to the bottom of the screen and turn off the volume on the music so you can hear the audio.
