Sweet Hearts




We are almost recovered from all our winter sickness. If you are feeling a bit "blucky" (word creation by Mark Watson)— a few days celebrating the sweeties in your life is a sure way to get your body and heart on the road to wellness. 



We had the Cannon Family over for chocolate fondue fun.  


Hush Puppy, a popular member of Ben's preschool class, 
came to stay with us a for a few days.  
Ben keeps finding excuses for why Hush Puppy needs to stay a little longer.


Our little love triangle:  Clara, William and Ben.  
Ben and William are best buds.  
William is smitten with Clara. Clara loves it. Ben does not like sharing William.
Ben is learning a lesson that will most likely repeat itself time and time again.


Pop Pop sent us a Valentine surprise: Just Dance 2 for our Wii.  
Way too much fun—and a great workout!  
Leah does whatever it takes to get that crown.



Our favorite valentine memory:  One afternoon while Clara was napping, Ben took the initiative to make his baby sister a valentine.  Ben was giddy with excitement as he crafted his creation— shaking extra glitter, making sure it was orange, that it had "lots of hearts" and he signed his name all by himself. When he gave it to Clara he said, "I just love you so much."


This is what trouble looks like.

Sending love from all of us, with wishes for a week filled 
with love, laughter, Yoda and chocolate!
