Happy Valentine's Day

Today is the boys' first Valentine's Day with us! It was an even better day because Lawrence and I had no school because of a winter storm that came through over night. The boys each got a Valentine from Mama and Papa. Then, they spent the afternoon with Grandma & Grandpa and Papa, while I stayed home and cleaned the house!

When the boys all came home, I had prepared a Valentine's Day chicken dinner. We ate dinner by candlelight. It was quite romantic! Lawrence and William were mesmerized by the candles, but eventually William blew them both out. We all enjoyed ourselves and left the table stuffed. Then, it was time for their bath and bedtime.

Bill has been doing alright as Mr. Mom. Some days I come home from work and the house is a disaster: toys scattered across the floor, dishes in the sink, and unfinished lunches sit on the table. Other days, the house is picked up and the dishes are done. He sometimes gets frustrated because the days get long and he doesn't always know how to fill the day, but he's enjoying this bonding time with the boys. Life will be different when he starts his new job, so he loves this extra special time he has with the boys.

This was a wonderful day and we can't wait for more Valentine's Days together!

Peace,
Kelly
