my funny valentine

marianne, henry and i had a valentines day lunch date yesterday with her friend, max, and his mom and brother. it was a special treat for all of us. marianne and max had heart-shaped pbjs and chocolate covered marshmallows that max's mom made. his mom also made a DELICIOUS veggie lasagna!!! a far cry from my usual turkey sammy lunch. it was chock full of butternut squash, zucchini, carrots and mushrooms—YUM YUM YUM! marianne and her valentine had a blast playing in his bounce castle...truly a treat, especially for me when she zonked out last night!

here are my valentines: a preview of the photos we had taken just before henry was a month old. more to come of these!!!

momma's valentines. plus daddy, of course, who is not pictured here :)

a few snaps

A few snapshots from the last few days.

Marianne riding the buckin Bronc at the grocery. It only costs a penny for a 2 minute ride and it makes her so happy that I let her ride almost every time she asks.

Henry between outfit changes. He's a tank...I just love his cheeks and that growing pot belly.

And one of my little mother of two: changing dolly's poopy diaper while baby elephant is snuggled in her wrap.


P.S. after I posted the video of Marianne reading to Henry in my last entry, I realized that she happened to be reading him the very first book I bought for her (Little Hoot by Amy Krouse). Just thought that was a "happy accident" given the context of the blog post.
