Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! 

This week has been a really busy week, school-wise and work-wise for Skip, with a paper and project due for the girls and some travel for Skip. While we normally would go "all in" for Valentine's, work was a real distraction to our festivities. 

The trio were festive for today, although the duo had track try outs (distance running, no less) so their outfits are planned with a quick change for a big run in PE. Who says Valentines can't be sweaty? 

George had some relative calm, what with second grade teachers understanding the importance of holidays. Although the school is not allowed to have parties, we sent a special snack consisting of chips, cupcakes and Capri Suns. Also, he passed out some Valentines, and his sweet friends showered him with Valentines as well. He has such a great group of friends. 

The girls were surprised that middle schoolers still exchange a little candy here and there, and they were glad we had thought to stock some extra Valentines just in case they needed them. They have some sweet friends at their school, too. 

After school, the duo had dance. Although they were tired from running in PE, they went to dance because it is recital season, and it's important to learn the routines. George also had an after school commitment with Discovery Club. 

After getting all of that work out of the way, we were able to have a nice dinner (their favorite lasagna) and open a couple of Valentine treats. The girls received a cross necklace, representing the greatest love of all, and a cute new purse. George received a truck and a new Snoopy for his collection. 

Although the day was busy, we enjoyed taking a moment to share the love and express how thankful we are to have each other. 

Sending much love to you and yours.
