Valentine's Day

For the two real Valentines in his life - Pops and Uncle Michael!

Charley opening her Valentine's presents/cards this morning

Valentine's Day - a weird post

I found this in my drafts folder...  I never finished it, but here's what I'd started!

Okay, so it's March and I'm just getting to this, but...  better late than never!

Dada bought this "porcupine" (it's a hedgehog, but since she's seen and can relate to porcupines, that's what we call it) for her her first V-day ever, but since it was full of beans, I was worried it might pop open.  I tucked it back, and he regave it to her this year.  She promptly named him Saw, which is what she named the refuge's real porcupine.

Gramma sent C a card that Dada helped her punch out and make this little critter, which she named "Lee".  She carried him around everywhere!

Grandpa sent her a card with stickers, and she quickly removed all the stickers from one side of the card and stuck them to the other - she had a great time!

Nana and Pops sent a card with photos of family members - she stared at that card for what seemed like eternity!  (Okay, 3.5 minutes, but for C that's an eternity!)

Then, we went to a playgroup Valentine's party in town - she had fun with the other kids that showed up, including her buddy Layla.  To see those pics, check out this link:

Finally, posting again - and catching up!

Grandpa sent Charley a Valentine's Day card, and she had fun moving the stickers around.

One day in town, a friend from my mom's group, Amanda, offered for Charley to come play with Cassidy while Rod and I ran errands.  It was a Godsend!  And she sent her home with a Kinder egg - what fun!

THANKS to the BEAUTIFUL weather we've been having (80's!), this is probably the last pic you'll see of Charley in her snow pants!

Projects with Trish

Sweet Trish, she bought stuff to make Valentine's with Charley at the store, and came over one day to do them - C had so much fun!

Hmmm, where to hang them?

And one day she joined us outside to paint the snow!

Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!
