Happy Valentine’s Day, just a bit late.  I want to share photographs of our Valentine treats, but I can’t find the thingy to charge my camera battery.  Instead, I’ll offer you some of the images of our recent visit with my parents.  They stayed for a whole, glorious week.  We were able to fit in lots of good food, playground time, stories, bike rides, church, and walks.  We enjoyed the beautiful weather, teased about the snow back home, and just had a wonderful time hanging out together.

(I believe Dad took this one.)

I came across this quote by Rudy Giuliani.  He said, “What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies.”  This past week showed us just that.  The cookies weren’t the most important part, but they sure were good!
