Happy Valentines Day!

Over the weekend, the kids made Valentine cards for their classmates.  Thank the Lord, their school does not allow goodie bags or candy.  Cards only!  Nothing wrong with all that other stuff but the simplicity sure did make it so much easier on me.  So we made it a fun weekend art project.  I cut - and the kids glued and colored and stickered the cards up.

Tomorrow Fletcher will be celebrating at the ENT.  Poor guy has been plain old sick for months.  Sadly, we don't even realize how sick he's been until he begins getting well again.  For a few days at the end of a round of antibiotics, his little personality shines.  But within days he is overcome again by cough, congestion and ear infection.  I think it's time for tubes.


He's apparently a sick/stress eater.  When he doesn't feel well, he soothes with food.  Cause he clearly needs to eat.  Last Friday he weighed in at a solid 31 pounds.  A full pound and a half heavier than he was one week prior at his 15-month/ear follow-up appointment.  Yowza.


Some sibling bonding over Dora.

Valentines Day also happens to be Pat and my anniversary.  We always choose not to fight the V-Day crowds, instead staying in and cooking a really special meal.  Here's a sneak peak at what I have in store for tomorrow.  There will be some serious goodness going on in my kitchen!  Check back later for more details!
