Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day...what can I say, once you are married with children it takes on a whole new meaning. To be honest, I don't think that Michael and I have done anything alone on this day for at least 10 years....and that is just fine with me! We have made it a tradition at our house that we have a fancy dinner together, the whole family. We do it up big here people, does it get any better than sparking grape juice served in wine glasses;)
On the day that I came home with all the groceries for the big event, I told Sunshine that Grandma Carole was going to come have the dinner with them while mommy and daddy went out and celebrated together. Her response to that.... "WHAT????? You can't do that!" She was very relieved when I confessed that I was just teasing her...the nerve of me! I do relish the fact that my children look forward to these days, and can't imagine spending them any other way. I don't know how much longer that will happen, so I will soak it in while I can!! I love this little....err I mean big...family that the good Lord has blessed me with. Overwhelming at times that he has trusted us with such precious gifts...but I do love them more than I could express with my mere words, can't imagine a day without them! Thank you Lord for the gift of my family...love abounds in this house!!!
