Love Hurts

We wish everyone a joyful celebration of the ancient fertility festival which is Lupercalia aka St. Valentine's Day, the anniversary of Aaron's and my first kiss together, our half year anniversary (6 1/2 years) and my mom's birthday.

Love is in the air. Congrats go out to my brother Robby and Amanda, my soon to be sister in law. They got engaged this weekend.

Around here we're all enjoying each other's love.

Miriam and Reuben love each other. Here's Reuben petting Miriam's head as proof. Ow.

Aaron and Miriam love each other.

Miriam loves to go! Today she got up on her hands and knees for the very first time today. Yay, strong girl!!

I love Advil. Miriam is teething. You can see her sucking on her bottom gum in this picture.

Reuben loves balls. And balloons which are "air balls."

He's recently taken a shine to a little girl at church. He met her at a church party and started very cautiously following her around. (She's wearing the red bow in the picture) As fate would have it, she just happened to be playing at the park when we arrived this morning. When Reuben noticed her, he called out her name and started to stumble blindly towards her. I don't know what exactly happened but his feet got tripped up and he stumbled and went face down in a mud puddle. His whole left side was covered in mud. I brushed him off as best as I could. He then spent the next 30 minutes running circles, and calling out "I run really fast!" in front of this girl. I can't say she seemed to notice his poor mud covered self too much. Poor kid. Welcome to Valentine's Day.

PS Aaron and I love each other but we sadly have no photographic evidence to prove it.
