Happy Valentine's Day


Add caption




Most of our Valentine's celebration this year were on Friday the 13th. The Little Guy and I joined the girls for their classroom parties. Tommy popped in for a bit during his lunch break and helped divide and conquer with multiple parties at the same time. It was a gorgeous day outside, so afters school, we played outside with lots of neighbors until Tommy got off and then he took us to Chuy's.

Saturday was spent playing at home, running errands and doing some things around the house. Tommy gave me beautiful purple roses. He brought them home on the Thursday before Valentines, after I had a particularly long, hard day foster-parenting. He is a smart man! I took two of my girls with me for a nice, quiet pedicure on Saturday morning and then that night, our friend Anna came over, while her parents went out. I made Tommy his favorite dinner and we had a loud, happy, crazy dinner with the two of us and 5 children.

Head of the Herd

This Friday it was Gracyn's turn!!! She was so proud of herself and delighted to be up on stage receiving the Head of the Herd award for her class. She has worked so hard and really blossomed in kindergarten over the last few months. There were big changes for her coming here and going from just a few short afternoons of preschool to full day kindergarten. She has done so well. She is learning to read, becoming a math whiz and as always, is our little artist.
Gracyn and Miss Salling
She was so proud and excited!
When she came home, she had a new Beanie Boo and a cookie cake to enjoy. So proud of her!
