happy valentines day

Saturday, February 14, 2009

We had a FABULOUS Valentine's Day. I have been totally spoiled! I have a beautiful new watch, and some smelly goods :) We all exchanged cards, Tyrone got a wireless headset for his 360, the boys got Bakugan (don't ask, I really don't get it, but they seem to encourage the boys in creative play) and Shiloh got a princess jewlery set, complete with tiara, necklace, earrings, and a ring.

Tyrone took us out to lunch, and it was fantastic! Shiloh wore her tiara and necklace the entire time and got lots more attention then is normal even for her!

As always happens on holidays, I can't help but think about last year. Tyrone and I were together on Valentine's, but I had in the back of my mind, always, that R&R would soon be over and I would be sending him back to Iraq in a week. The fact that we have Tyrone home for a whole, wonderful year is never far from my mind. I remember all to vividly the alternative.

By the way, do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get one single pic of everyone smiling pretty, looking at the camera, and sans paci, when the "everyone" involved are 7, 4, and 1?!
