Love is in the Air

 Maia had a birthday.  I can't believe how much she has changed in a few short years.  She is sure a tender-hearted sweetie.  Even with her tender nature, she tends to talk in a really loud voice most the time-- probably a middle-child-can-you-hear-me-over-this-din kind of thing.  :) 

 Emerson and I actually had a few minutes alone together to prepare for Maia's party since a friend kept Ava for me.  It was nice.

Miguel was working late on Valentines Day and I was super tired so this is our Valentines dinner (you can see how fancy we eat at our house).  I tried to pour pink pancake batter into heart shaped cookie cutters set straight on the griddle but it didn't work, so I made normal shaped pancakes and let them cut them on their plates with cookie cutters then sprinkle red sprinkles on top of their pancakes.  Super healthy dinner.

My sister and I went to the grocery store the night before Valentines to pick up something for her boyfriend (and I actually got Miguel something, too, inspired by her).  We picked out valentines for the kids to give away at school and then she showed me the 'Thor' valentines.  The expression on his face was so funny.  We decided to get these for our own friends, complete with tatoos.  I found one with my name, an "I love you," from her and a chocolate taped to it from her.  What a sweetie.  You should have seen the faces of a few of the women I gave these to.  No, they are not my kids left-over valentines, I bought these for my friends.  :)  Miguel wanted to take me to Orange Leaf that night for our own Valentine celebration but I was tuckered out.  He's really patient with me as I'm tired all the time lately.
