If you are on my mailing list, you may have received a Valentine's from us. I kind of got carried away in sending them out. At first, I was just going to send to my family and very close friends. But, then I just went for it. I'm a little stamp happy. I staged Wells with some wild flowers mixed with eucalyptus. It smelled heavenly. He was all about sucking his lower lip the entire time. I also took pictures with his hat on and then tried some with it off. I loved the ones with his hat on! Here is one of my favorites of the one's I ended up not sending out.
I decided to jot down 100 things I love about Wells. I had to limit my list to 100, because I could have added hundreds more. I can't wait to come back 1, 5, and 10 years from now and read every single one. I'd be surprised if anyone else makes it through all of them. What can I say, my heart is full.
