February in Washington is rainy, gray...oh wait, that's been the case for the last five months--so never mind. :) The bright spots in winter for us is Christmas and Valentine decorations--splashes of red and glittery paper things hanging up really does wonders to break up the grayness. I put up more Valentine decorations more for our mood than for the 14th day of this month.
Jaime came home from work early that day and we ate a nice dinner here at home (I started cooking at 2 in the afternoon, hoping to be done by the time he got home! I can't keep that up every day. But for this once, I was willing to give up my afternoon for a good meal ready and on the table.) With Adrienne, I had to keep breaking up the process into small steps and do it here and there when she'd let me. So in the end, that was different enough to be a treat for us. ha ha. Adrienne kept asking for a balloon, so Jaime brought one home for her and then once she saw it she decided she was afraid of it. We got a laugh out of that.
Adrienne got this Valentine in the mail from my parents. It's the only video we caught for our most recent happenings.
In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities. (April 2003. L. Tom Perry. The Importance of the Family.)
