Proclamations...

...of LOVE greet us in the morning, endlessly ring as we conduct our daily activities, and echo in the dark as we kiss Henry goodnight. Henry, is a lover. "I love you too so much, little Mama (or little Daddy, or little one)"...or "Mama, suddenly I love you" or "Listen Daddy, I love you..and Mama, and Old Baby Sam (the living breathing Samuel Cooper), and New Baby Sam (the small baby doll) and Thomas and Molly and EVERYBODY...I LOVE EVERYBODY"...and others can be heard all day long everyday. Henry's teachers at school tell us they are reminded throughout the day how much Henry loves them...he rides the bikes in the "Big Room" and with each lap proclaims his love to Miss Tina and Miss Helen. So, we are sticky sweet around here this month, and it's not just the pancake syrup and honey that constantly coat our kitchen counters and floors and chairs and anything else Henry touches. We are all in love.

Otherwise, we've been having fun in the snow, at the Children's Museum with Bob and Papa and celebrating Mama's (and apparently Henry's) favorite Holiday...Valentine's Day - Hooray!
