My little Valentines

My two sweet valentines gave me big hugs before we all headed out the door for school.

My handsome little boy!

Caleb worked very hard to write his name on his valentines so he could send 'bear hugs from Caleb' to all of his friends at school. 

He also did some celery stamping to create rose cards for his teachers. 

Cinnamon rolls were extra special as they were in the shape of hearts. Emma Katherine thought they were wonderful but after trying a bite Caleb decided on his mainstay, peanut butter and jelly. 

Tuesday morning Caleb had his Valentine party at school I love him being so close that I get to hop over and be a part of all the festivities. 

Emma Katherine joined right in the fun making herself at home. 

Caleb and I worked hard at his Candy necklace, but bingo was the entertaining part of the day. Sitting beside his friend Caleb, he kept waiting for his colored shapes to be called to no avail. Just about the time he was going to give up his friends began to bingo and win their goodie bag. He stuck with it especially a friend showed him a slinky was inside. All adults were laughing and finally had to strategically call some shapes so the two Calebs could finally win. For future reference, he may never want to play bingo ever again. 

Since I had a day off work on president's day weekend, we hosted a shower to celebrate baby Ethan's arrival. Family and friends came from all over. Caleb and Abby helped place the rubber duckies in the pond/punch.

My newest craft endeavor turned out precious. My new vinyl cutter allows me to do lots of precious things like this. Since we've had several baby showers to show them off, I've actually taken a few orders.   

Emma Katherine looked like a little angel in her smocked white dress. Despite not allowing a bow to remain in her hair for more than 3 seconds, this sweet baby girl took my breath away.
