Happy Valentine's Day!

A bit of craftiness ... and a continued love of all things owl ...

 Gifts for the grandparents ... mailed late but made with love :)

NHV and I also baked "special Valentine's Day cookies" on Friday ... complete with red 'prinkles.

CPV is making his incredibly delicious crepes for breakfast ... yummy!

If we can get all four of us ready, we're on our way to a party at the local kid's museum.

How are YOU celebrating this holiday-o-hearts?

Valentine's Day 2008

For Natalie's first Valentine's Day we hosted a little playdate with our buddy Owen and his mommy. It was so fun to watch the two of them interact with each other; they reached out, touched each other's face, and held hands briefly ... so, so cute!

Make a free ecard - it's easy!

Clearly, love was in the air ;) And the thought that Natalie will - one day - fall in love fills me with mixed emotions. And I find myself wondering what was it like for my mom and dad to watch me fall in love with Chad? Life is just one big circle, isnt' it?!

The rest of this "holiday" was spent with the stomach flu. Natalie had it last week, and I was lucky enough to get it just in time to ruin my romantic dinner plans for Chad. The heart-shaped meatloaf and German chocolate cake had to wait until Saturday night ... better late than never! More than anything, this day of L-O-V-E reminded me just how blessed I am to be a wife and mommy; does it get any better than this?
