Head Over Heels in Love

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I've been here.  I was going to write one post a week, what did that last, 2 weeks?

A lot has happened since I was here last.  Vinny, our second little man, will be 1 in a couple of weeks.  I can hardly believe it.  Watching him grow and discover and learn and love over the past (almost) year has been truly incredible.  He has developed the most interesting and unique personality.  I love watching him.  Every week, every day it's like he discovers something new.  It's amazing and awe-inspiring.  Can you tell how in love with him I am? :)

I hope that my love would have been this strong for any child and I think it would have been, but I don't think I would have recognized or appreciated it the way I do without Alfy.  He's the one that really taught me what unconditional love is and how to not take it for granted.  I hope I can instill that kind of love in Vinny.  I hope he learns to love his brother and family that way (talk about pressure!).
