Why we celebrate Valentines Day.

For most, "Valentines Day" is a celebration of one's love for his/her sweet heart, and though we celebrate this too, we also celebrate it for another reason. You've prabably already guessed.(the pictures are obviously a dead give away) Our second son Maddex was born on Valentines Day of 2007. I've never received a better Valentines gift, nor will I ever. Besides, what on earth is more intimate and full of love than bringing a child into the world, that together husband & wife have made? So thankyou Brandon, for my Valentines gift. It's one that will last forever. Andrew thanks you too, for giving him his best friend. He's been the best big brother in the world. So this Valentines, we will be celebrating the love of a family.

So sweet! That is the best Valentine's Day ever! It makes me wonder, everytime I look at Will, what my life was like without him! I love that you have two little guys that are so close and best friends! You're all so cute! Tell Brandon, Kevin, and Tosha I said Hi!

Elise your boys are so cute! I can't believe how big they are getting! I totally agree with you about the best gift for valentines is a child! That's so sweet, I can't believe he is going to be two.

Who needs crappy cards and roses when you've got Maddex, the only child who has caffeine instead of blood. We'll never stop loving that little Mutt!
