Happy Valentine's Day!!

We Love Valentine's Day!!

Wesley woke up in the best mood, wishing everyone a good morning and a Happy Valentine's Day! He was full of hugs and kisses for all.

Emma always looks forward to Valentine's Day. She says that it is her favorite holiday because of all the love and the pink and red decorations.

Mark and I haven't given each other any grand and glorious gifts in the past 5 years, but we love to wake up on Valentine's Day and pay extra close attention to all those little moments of stolen passion. I love him sooo much that it sometimes feels explosive. This is our 10th Valentine's together, and there are still times when we hold each other and don't want to let go. He's brought the greatest love that I konw into my life, and for that I will always be grateful!

Emma wanted to make her own class Valentines this year, and here are the results:

I think they turned out beautiful! We had such a good time working on them together. I love that she wants to create things. It makes my soul smile.

Happy Valentine's Day to All !!

Out of The Mouth of Babes

Conversation with Wes:
Mom : "Wes, why are you being so ornerey today? You've been acting a little crazy."
Wes : "Oh. Um, I want baby."
"You want to be a baby?"
"No. I want have a baby. Oh mom, get baby at the store!!"
"You want to buy a doll at the store?"
"Mom, you are funny. No doll. I want have a baby. I be big sister like Emma."
"You want to have a little baby brother or sister?! This is why you are acting up."
"Let's go mom! I so excited! Let's get baby at the store!"
"You're going to have to wait and talk to your dad about that."
When Dad came home:
"Dad, we need go to the store and get baby! I so excited!"
"What?!"
(Brief explanation)
"Wes, do you want to have a little brother or sister?"
"I want baby. I be big sister."
"No. You would be a big brother."
"Oh! Yes, I be big brother like Emma."
"Do you want a little brother or a sister?"
"I just want a baby."
"Well, your mom and I will have to work on that. But, we can't get a baby at the store. I'm sorry. It might take awhile."
"I so excited!"

So, anyway, I guess we have some work to do.

New Year's Eve 2008

Just to get "The Fear" down the page, because it seems that I managed to scare plenty of people with that post, I have finally decided to post pictures from New Year's Eve.

Yea!!!!!!!!

And the night ends.

Guess who the party animal is in our home.
