Happy Valentine's Day

This was the first year Parker received Valentine's cards from his classmates. Oh, how he treasures those sweet little cards. He kept saying, "Look how many friends I have!" and "They love me!" He has looked at those cards a hundred times and he is also proud because he can recognize most of his classmates' names. We were low-budget and I had him cut out hearts for each classmate and put a puffy dog sticker on each one. His cutting skills are top notch, so thought it was a great way to utilize that talent. I wasn't just trying to be thrifty:) 

 Oh the love these boys have for one another. Today in the car, "Austin, do you want to be my best friend forever and ever, just the two of us?" Be still my heart.

I appreciate this day not because of the commercialism. I don't expect a thing on this holiday. But I am so touched to see how the kindness of others affects my child. He felt loved on this day. He felt valued by his friends. And that's what it is all about. Happy V'day!

And a special happy valentine's day to my love. You got home a 2:30am this morning from work, but thought to text me at midnight to wish me love on this day. You're awesome and we love you!
