Happy Valentine’s Day!

I meant to post this *on* Valentine’s Day, but here we are a week later… Story of my life. ;-) We had a fun day. I’ve never paid much attention to Valentine’s Day before, but once you have kids it is a lot of fun. It is what you make of it. Paul woke up insanely early and bought purple flowers for me.
