Happy Valentine's Day

Today is the day we celebrate love. For me, it is the day I celebrate the love I have for my husband and my children.

They are my loves.

And ... this day brings another special meaning into my life. It is the day my grandmother was born. Way back in 1931, she blessed this planet with her birth.

She is my second mother. She and I are in essence the same person. Today we are off to celebrate her life ... to celebrate her 78th birthday. And there is no other way I'd rather spend this day.

Enjoy your loves today everyone ... and Happy Valentine's Day!

My kids love each other

Payton adores her brother. She wants to be by him all the time ... and she wants to play with him and his toys. Although he has his moments of getting annoyed with her, he is tolerant of her most of the time ... and she is happiest when he is playing with her. Yesterday, the two of them played in his room for hours. No fighting, no tears ... just happy times. They laid every pillow in the house across his bedroom floor, watched cartoons and just hung out ... all by themselves. We are just hoping this sort of bonding lasts into the years to come!
