Our first three years of wedded bliss were all about us. Vacations - just the two of us. Hanging out with friends - just the two of us. Holidays - just the two of us. Life was good then. Easy then. In some ways, less stressful.
(pre-children, on our honeymoon in Colorado)
Our last six years have been about us - all of us - A.J., Erika, Alex & Ayson. Vacations - all of us, as long as it's within a five hours driving distance! Hanging out with friends - all of us, as long as we can be home by 9:00 p.m. at the latest to get the boys in bed. Holidays - all of us, but expanding the fun to include the munchkins. Life is good now. Stressful at times. But most of all, good.
Our Valentine's Day was not your typical day or evening of romance. But it was packed with love. Cards and a sweet gift from the boys. Goodies from my love - and goodies for him. Heart-shaped sandwiches for the kidlets for lunch, followed by an afternoon movie while snuggled up on the couch with Alex. And a delightful Malbec/Merlot in trendy new stemware for my man and I later in the evening. In this current season in our lives, I am learning to appreciate simplicity, the uncomplicated, and the understated. Life is good.

Your Valentine's was better than mine. We had a sick kid and I stayed home and did laundry while Phillip went and had to tend to his Dad. Now that's romance.
