My Valentines

I am SUCH a lucky woman!
Valentineflowers/SHBenoiton

As an example of why this is so, here's my morning:

Mark hauled the kids downstairs, managing to do so without waking me, fixed them their tea, and boiled a couple of eggs for Sam's midmorning school snack. Once the sun was well up, he took them for a stroll around our garden.

Just before he was to leave for work, the three of them came upstairs.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" were the first words I heard, and a bouquet of flowers in the hands of my darling son was my first sight of the day.

"We picked them for you, Mom!"

Does it get better than this?

I 'd say you do qualify for lucky with a Valentine's Day beginning like that! Happy Valentine's Day!

Plus, I got a photo of my granddaughter in the car on her way to school from my daughter's new blackberry. How cool is that?

Thanks, Jan, and a Happy Valentine's Day to you.

My youngest son and I have kind of a unique Valentines Day gift. It was four years ago today that we began our adoption. He was 13 and I was a lot older than 13. Miracles really do happen.

John,
Yes, they do! Congratulations on your miracle, and Happy Valentine's Day.

I heart the photo. Is it my imagination or has CJ just gone through a growth spurt? She looks "all growed up."

My hubby arrived home with flowers, a card, and Godiva chocolates after two delayed flights and having to dig his car out at the airport parking lot. Got to love the guy! Chocolates all gone...small box...really...
