I don't know what I was thinking having my annual doctors appointment on Valentines and so early in the morning. I wasn't thrilled about it, but the weird person in me likes to go and make sure everything is ok. I am happy to report all is well and I was there for a totally of 30 minutes. Nice!
Getting out the door early, to say the least, made for a very crazy morning and sadly I wasn't able to do a fun valentine breakfast. I am hoping I can make up for it with some green pancakes on St. Patrick's Day. Of course my kids had a very busy fun day ahead of them so I wasn't too concerned they would notice the no heart pancakes. They were able to get yummy treats from their grandma this morning (she watched the kids for me...Thanks mom!) & their Nana is coming over later to decorate cookies. They don't know this and will be so surprised to come home from school and find her here. It's good we're going to do something traditional today. Decorating heart cookies is always a favorite.
Despite this morning it has been a great Valentines. I have received several valentine wishes the last couple of days. Kristi sent a very cute valentine and heart. I don't understand how she has the time to make these cute things. I love it, thank you. Hannah sent me a very cute verse on love. It was so thoughtful of you and so beautifully made. Thank you so much. Michelle sent me the most beautiful valentines card. She always has the most unique wonderful creations. It is one of a kind. Thank you. I loved it. Jenn sent me a package of Valentine goodness. First of all I love the letter "A". I am collecting A's so it's perfect, but on the bottom it has my 2007 word DO on it. It's such a beautiful reminder. Then she sent yummy goodies. Did you make them? They were so good. Not to forget amcraft ribbon, pencils, a sweet note, and other fun valentine stuff. Thank you so much Jenn. Thank you to everyone who sent me a Valentine. It has been such a treat to go to open my mailbox as see the goodness.
Tonight Adam and I are going to dinner. Something I always look forward to. Our dinner plans fell through so I think we will be winging it tonight which is never a good sign. The last time that happened we waited 2 1/2 hours to eat. Valentine's Day + restaurants = insanity.
To me the holiday is just another excuse to let someone know you love them. Whether it be friends, family, kids, boyfriend, husband, etc...
Today that is what has been on my mind...the numerous individuals in my life that I love. That have touched me and showed me what love is. How blessed I am to have them in my life. The photo above just happens to be 3 of them.
I hope you all have a fabulous day full of love and goodness.

Amy, thank you so much for the Valentine. I was so excited to get it in the mail today!
How great that you live by family that your girls can enjoy Grandma! What a treat for all!
Have fun tonight - hope you don't have to wait too long!
Isn't Michelle's card beautiful?!?! I got your yesterday and loved what you wrote. Good luck finding a table tonight- at least you will be in the best of company for any wait there is. The picture of your girls is beautiful.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I love that soft photo of 3 of your loves. They are lucky to have you!
Happy Valentine's Day to you! I'm glad it's shaping up to be a better day than the way it began. I love the photo of your girls -- true loves, for sure!
A lovely moment captured in that photo. They ARE lucky to have you to love them. Happy Valentine's Day.
I love how you collage your pictures together. So elogant and unique. I couldn't agree more Valentines Day is a good excuse to show and share love to the ones we care about most. Hope you have a good dinner and don't have to wait to long. We did that one year, it was really insane!
p.s. Funny you mention green pancakes, I did that last year (one of my babes birthday is that day)
Happy Valentines Day--thanks for the sweet card I received it today.
Dang that camera of yours...you make good mail look even better. Thank you for filling my day with goodness through a card in the mail. You continually amaze me & visiting your blog puts a smile on my face.
Your day sounds wonderful. I hope dinner with Adam worked out ok tonight. I just love the picture of your girls reading. They are simply adorable!!
Love all your Good Mail too. It always makes for a happy day!
amy your photos are the best because you always capture the feeling of the moment. beautiful. hope your dinner went well and that you had a wonderful evening. thank you for your sweet card.
Happy Valentine's Day Amy! Sorry about your hectic morning- I totally relate! I never plan breakfast- it is doomed from the start at our house! So, we did strawberries and whip cream on waffles for dinner!
Yes, I made the rice krispie treats. Glad you liked them!
i love holidays because it is such a fun time to send themed well wishes.
the valentines were fun to make and true therapy that week, so thank you for giving me a chance to send it to someone.
your photos are always wonderful and such a pleasure to look at.
Very cute picture of your girls. I just love pictures of kids reading. It's so nostalgic. Hopefully you didn't have to wait to long for dinner, although I can't imagine that you wouldn't. So hopefully it was worth the wait.
I hope dinner last night was fun and not too much wait. (But like someone else said, at least you had good company for the wait, right?) I was a little sad to see that it didn't look like the glitter survived too well in the mail... oh well. Love the photo of the girls reading!
I love your photography and even wrote about it a bit in my blog. I think that you do wonderful work. You capture light so well. I want to be able to do that. Do you do much post photo work? I would love to have a tutorial in photography from you. Keep showing your work. It inspires me.
fabulous! especially the last picture...priceless! you know amy...if you were to make an album of your life so far at least the last year...that I have been a participant of...it is just PRICELESS and the LORD probably wouldn't be most pleased with you....why? because you are THERE with your children and family every step of the way...and you are enjoying them...sometimes I feel sad for some of my best friends that have to work because they are the sole provider of the family and don't get to PICTURE their children each day...just a thought...I just think PICTURES speak a million words...even if sometimes we come up short with words.
priceless.
