My Valentines


Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I love the combination of red and pink, chocolates and flowers, romance and fun. To get ready for the big day this year, I wore a different pair of Valentine's Day socks each day this week (thanks, Mom). I always enjoy this holiday, but I think this was my favorite Valentine's Day.

Earlier this week, I was surprised when two dozen red roses appeared on our doorstep. My wonderful husband had sent them to me on behalf of Stetson. Stetson also had gifts arrive in the mail from both sets of grandparents. Thank you!

I was so tired on the morning of Valentine's Day, however. Stetson had gone two days with hardly any sleep -- and so had I. (It appears it was due to antibiotics upsetting his stomach). But the stress of two sleepless days was completely erased when my husband whisked me away for dinner and to see Wicked. It was amazing! I had a wonderful time with our friends the Cowdens, and I'm so grateful to the Folkmans for watching Stetson. And a special thanks to Lafe for making my day. Of course, I took a picture with Stetson and of Stetson, but not with Lafe! So here's a picture of us from December.

Wow, what a fun Valentine's Day!
I have done diddly to participate in treating my husband for our anniversary, or V-Day. yup, still using the excuse, " I gave birth to your child, Happy Anniversary honey...or, I gained 30 lbs. and nurse your son, Happy Valentine's babe."
Lame I know.

So not lame. That's exactly where I was last year for Valentine's Day and Lafe's birthday. It's a perfectly valid excuse!

Lacy! I am so sorry. My blog entry must have sounded so horrible to you! Ahh I'm so embarrased. I know Ohio must be wonderful! I am just a ninny for cold weather. Thanks for more reasons to make me not so sure of anything any more! Of course financial aide will make our final decision for us. We are so fickle! Never fear, we may still be your neighbors. I'm sure you are just ecstatic to hear that! hah!
