St. Valentine

Happy St. Valentine's Day, friends.

Happy Valentine's Day crew
We've started our day with a lot of love and togetherness.  All the kids enjoyed finding their candy bags waiting for them at the table this morning.  After, we sat down to a hot breakfast and heart-shaped pancakes (something we rarely do!).  The big boys then shared the Valentine cards they made at school.  T was especially thoughtful making one each for Mommy, Daddy, "Baby", and the whole family.  So cute!  They also enjoyed opening Gramz and Pappy's letters, which included the gift of a Magic Kingdom ticket for each kid when we go to Florida in April!  Thanks G and P!  Fun stuff and smiles all around.

In an attempt to keep things positive, though, I will gloss over the child drama that ensued afterward over a stained shirt and unzipped coat before the boys left for school.  I will also leave out about our Daddy disgruntled over work issues.  Bummer!  I will also pretend that the baby didn't wake up in a pool of vomit, but still full of smiles.  She has since tossed cookies two more times--once in her exersaucer (a special Valentine's gift to her mama) and another after a bath (thankfully projectiled onto the rug).

Puking and smiling ;)
The girls are currently parked in front of Mickey, thank goodness.  But I am glowing at the thought that we *might* have settled on our future van!!  Exciting!!  :)  Funny how something like a new vehicle can wipe out the din of morning drama. ;)

This is about how excited I am for a new van! ;)
Hope your Valentine's Day is real and blessed.  Thank you for your love!
Thanks be to God for His goodness,

Oh my gosh, you guys are getting a new van?! I don't blame you for being excited -- that's HUGE! MJ and I have already started talking about the features our next car will have -- and it's probably about 10 years away!

Hope the stomach thing is just 24 hour! I got vomited on 3 times during M's 24-hour stomach bug. The worst was discovering it pooled in my bra...YUCK. Hugs to Geoff for the work issues! Having some of those myself since returning...
