Valentine's Day

02.14.2010

Andrew has recently shown an interest in helping Mommy in the kitchen. He helped me make muffins one morning and thought they were the best muffins ever! So for Valentine's Day, we made a special cake together. Andrew loved helping with the icing and had even more fun tossing on the sprinkles. And of course, that was the best cake ever too!


Megan's Valentine gift was a set of wrist rattles. She loves to chew on them (and anything else that reaches her mouth!). And Andrew enjoyed some marshmallow peeps and a special sucker that gave him a new look.


My little Valentine's spent their day playing and loving on each other.


And with every Valentine's day celebration, there's another celebration too - happy birthday to William's brother, Richard!

Play Time

02.01.2010

Andrew LOVES to play with Megan and she really enjoys playing with him too. He does, at times, get a little rough and certainly doesn't understand the concept of a soft spot - but we're working on it! I pray they will always have a close relationship. My heart swells when I see the love they share.

Jackson's Birthday Party

01.23.2010

Little Jackson Pavone turned 3 on January 22 and Andrew had a great time at his party. This was Andrew's first trip to The Little Gym. He loved it! Special thanks to the Pavone family for including us and happy birthday Jackson!
