Hello all. My goal of blogging once a month has turned into more like every 2 months :( Oh well...at least I'm blogging right?
Wanted to jump on for February and post some cute pictures of the kids. I had not done a photo shoot of the two of them in awhile and thought some Valentine photos would make a great opportunity. There is a slide show of the ones that did not turn out blurry. My first 75...yes 75 photos I took were blurry due to camera (and operator) malfunction. It is really too bad because the kids were in rare form. I took at least 40 GREAT shots; had they not been blurry! Of course after 75 poses-Leah & Nolan were getting bored, so once Scott adusted my camera, I had to bribe them for the photos you see in the slide show.
Ugh.... The camera has been acting up since Christmas and I need to take it in to get checked out, but I'm afraid they will tell me I just need a new camera. I really like this camera other than it's bulkiness and now malfunctioning flash.

So I'll be a whopping 37 years old on February 14th! Holy cow -where has the time gone? I remember my mom at 36-37 and thinking she was so old! (Sorry mom) I'm sure that is what Leah thinks of me now :) And unlike most women I know-I am not embarrassed or ashamed at my age & I am counting the years until I can tell people I'm 40, 50, 60 ...and whatever other age I have to reach to be the longest living heart transplant patient! I do believe 28 years post-transplant (could be 29 by now) is currently the record and he/she is still living.
Speaking of which-though 37 years old is no milestone year-2010 marks a milestone year for me. On June 8th I will have survived 20 years post-transplant! I will be celebrating it by going on a hot-air balloon ride with Scott, my sister & some close girlfriends and then wine-tasting afterwards . I cannot wait. I've always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride and I thought this would be a great way to celebrate this miraculous milestone.

We hope everyone has a splendid Valentine's Day sharing the day with those they love.
Love, Jill, Scott, Leah & Nolan
