I Love Somebody, Yes I Do!

If you don't want sap, now would be the time to click away...
I just had my best Valentine's Day ever, being with my little love. She headed off this morning to daycare with her little Valentines just as cute as ever. I headed off to my first grade class and they were ready to burst with excitement. I asked the kids who had ever folded paper and cut out a heart and only a few raised their hands. Can you believe they let out a big "ahhhh" when I unfolded my cut paper and they saw the heart? They were very sweet in exchanging all their Valentines. I was fortunate to have a senior volunteer who helped them all paint their bags with heart stamps. My friend Salome also came and volunteered all afternoon and it was a HUGE help. When I finally got to go pick up little Abbey I was greeted with a beautiful card with her fingerpainting and picture on it. We had a very fun little dinner together. We went to the deli and had pasta and fruit salad. A very kind man brought her a balloon. Then they gave her a huge sugar cookie and milk. She's never had a big treat like that since the oreo you may remember from China, so she was pretty excited. We ended up meeting another family with a little girl from China and got to see some pretty Koi at the pond. When we came home my BIL, Bob, and my niece stopped by and gave Abbey lots of love, tickles, and kisses. I got to rock my baby to sleep. I am just in love with her and every thing we do together is so much fun.

    She's so lovely! Red is definitely her color... Or maybe it's LOVE!

    You can see in her eyes that she loves her Mama!

    Often check in on you and your little Abbey.

    She is a darlin' and you are soooo sweet, as you share your unapologetic Mama-love with us.

    Look what love has done for your child! She is beyond perfect (just as God told you she would be).

    Many happy returns of the day,
