Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day this year Tim, Timmy, and I all went to dinner at a brand new seafood restaurant in our neighborhood before going home to open about 20 cards and our gifts to each other. Timmy has been making a lot of art at school and I've been struggling with what I should do with it after it's season is over and I take it off the fridge. I settled on getting him a little artist's portfolio, and I gave it to him for his Valentine. He was more excited about it then I could have hoped. I had him open it next to Dad, who hadn't seen it yet either, and they flipped through every page and Timmy told us about the media, whether it was paint or markers, etc, and what some of the subject matter was. When they got to the last picture he said, "I read the book again?" The next day he showed it off to Baba and Grandpa repeatedly too. These are some of my favorite pictures we've gotten of him in a while too!


Then, for dessert we had a little semi-homemade treat I made from a parenting magazine recipe I saw, they were a big hit!
