I just realized that I never got a photo of the boys school Valentine boxes. They were cute. I thought Amy was cute reading all the Valentine books one evening.
We don't celebrate Valentine's Day in any huge way. This year I put a heart of sticky notes in everyone's rooms and wrote things I loved about them on each note.
This was Tyler's:
Will's:
Amy's: ( I need to get a picture)
Lee's: (Some of his were already falling off)
Around Valentines every one was sick. Just a bad cold, but it ran through the family. Lee had it first. Then Tyler and myself and lastly Amy. She went though a lot of tissues!
Tyler said, "Mooooommmmm... WHY do I have to write my name on these?" Boys and Valentines. It's a totally different ball game.
We celebrated our one year anniversary of our house! I should have thought about all the stuff we've done to it thus far. I think we've been rather busy!
We bought a lot of insulation for the upstairs and a friend helped me install it. Well, most of it, we have a little more to do.
Tyler was really cute wanting to help Lee bring it upstairs. He sure did work hard!
We had a random warm day and Amy washed Lee's car.
Will and his piano playing.
Will had a field trip at the Bowling Center (see how I said "center" not "alley" Aunt Lynn? :) We went to this place last year and I have to say, it's one of the easiest, most organized field trips. Everyone loves it.
The little girl with her arm around Will is the sweetest friend. Her name is Riley. We met her grandmother at the store just after Christmas. Riley was with her and the grandmother had a service dog. The grandmother came up to Will and said, "Hi Will. I'm Riley's grandmother. Riley told me about your seizures. I have seizures and that is my seizure dog. If I'm about to have a seizure, he will bark and stand by me until help arrives. I just wanted you to know that you can do anything in life. You can drive a car. You can go to college. You can do whatever you want. Never let your seizures stop you. "
It was the sweetest moment that really touched Lee and I that day.
This little girl has turned out to be such a good friend to Will. She watches over him. He doesn't annoy her. She taught him how to bowl (well, she tried. ;) She listens to him. She is such a blessing in our lives.
The day of the field trip, Tyler had gotten sick. He'd had a seizure the night before and had several days with a high fever. I wasn't sure what to do as he obviously couldn't go to school and I had already committed to go on Will's fieldtrip (I go as his "nurse.") It turned out that Lee saved the day by cancelling class and staying with Tyler.
After school I brought Tyler his Valentine box from his friends and he was so excited. He read through every card, every name saying, "Oh wow! This is from John...." "Oh this is from Elizabeth- she does love pink..." it was really cute watching him.
He also told me he was going to give me one million kisses. I think he only made it to 20, but that was close enough. :)
He missed 3 days of school. One of the days he helped me deliver the packets for the Hot Chocolate run. I had picked them up for all my friends.
I also took him to Nachos. But he actually wasn't as hungry as he thought. He didn't eat much.
That weekend was my favorite race of the year, the Hot Chocolate Run! It was cold but it wasn't as cold as years past! It was my 5th year.
We saw our beloved trainer, Austin and his wife Paige. He doesn't work at MTSU anymore, and it's probably been close to 3 years since we've seen them. We were quite excited!
My friend Talana and Trista also ran the race.
Back at Halloween, when we did our Grossology dinner, the kids were disgusted by sardines. Aunt Lynn had said that Grandpa taught her how to put them on bread and how much she loved it. Well, she sent this picture the other day....
I knew I had to capture the kids faces and I was glad I did!
