HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY!




It's been a few days since we've posted - but it looks like we've begun to shake this yucky bug that struck our house last Wednesday. After it passed through Caroline, it hit Steve and me this weekend - on separate occasions, thankfully! By the way, I heard a report on the news today that said that the flu vaccine is only 40% effective this year. If that's what this was, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we're now in the clear! Valentine's Day around here was pretty uneventful due to the fact that we were still dealing with our first significant virus since Caroline was born, but Steve still tried to cheer his girls up by sending us two dozen fabulous iced sugar cookies from Cheryl & Co. They are absolutely sinful! His note was especially cute - "Some sweet hearts for my two sweethearts... Love, Daddy", and the whole gesture was even more appreciated since his birthday also came and went last week with absolutely no fanfare, once again because of whatever illness was plaguing us... Sigh. We have promised to make it up to him, though!

Caroline was feeling well enough by Thursday afternoon to practice her coloring skills on some paper hearts I had cut out for her. She has these really cute Crayola TaDoodles toddler crayons that I found for her, but is really much more of a classic kind of girl and prefers the plain old Crayola 24-pack. Here's the Valentine she made for Daddy...

All in all, our Valentine's Day was okay. Hope yours was special (and less germy), too!
