X's and Snow's

Valentine's Day 2007 was full of love, snuggles, and SNOW! School was canceled again, and the kids were both still sick, so I thought our day was going to be miserable. Juliana convinced me that the germs would go away if they could go play in the snow. OK OK.. I couldn't say no to that. We geared up with snow pants, boots, hats, mittens, and Kleenex, and went to frolic in the freshly fallen snow. Kevin wasn't too happy with his new footwear (blue snow boots). He could barely walk in them, much less in the snow up to his knees and on the icy walkways. We did not stay outside for too long, although we had a great time while it lasted.

That's our Valentine's Day in a nutshell.

I always try to end with remembering important days in the lives of those we love. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEARA (Feb. 13)! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAITLYN (the one and only gorgeous flower girl in our wedding-- Feb. 14-- The Valentine baby turned 14 yesterday!)

Our 6th wedding anniversary is on Saturday, Feb. 17. HORRAY for great friends/babysitters! We are actually going out alone. We've been out alone twice since we moved here 2 1/2 years ago. It will be a dinner without sippy cups, chicken fingers, ketchup, "THAT'S GROSS!", and embarrassing disasters below a high chair.

X's and O's...
