"Be My Valentine OR I'll scream, I'll yell, I'll bite..."

Papa and Gran were here for some Valentine celebrating this week and we had a great time. They made their second trip to Charlie's school and helped his class with their Valentine party (my mom said they were the only ones there to help). Charlie got his special outings with Papa and Gran as usual. Max and Linc couldn't get enough of their loud, funny, and cuddly Papa or their cozy, comforting, and sweet Grandma. Wonderful dinners, valentine's day shopping and lots of play time was the way the week went down!
Thanks so much Mom and Dad for making the trip once again to see the boys and help their parents! We love you a ton and feel blessed to have you in our lives on this Valentine's day!

"...I'll cry aloud, I'll start to whine If you won't be my Valentine"

This was Maxy this morning after he stopped crying b/c Papa and Gran left. He has an ear infection and high fever and apparently found comfort in the dog bed. Whatever works!

Linc doing his chores with Grandma. He loves to put his dishes in the sink and throw his diapers away like a BIG boy. For the first time he said "diaper" this week and we couldn't stop laughing :)

Papa snuggling with sick Maxwell George AND playing dinosaurs with CT. He knows how to multitask and make them all happy.

Linc playing with his buddy Jake. PEEKABOO!

Gran and CT putting their sea creatures together

Gran made her famous chocolate cake and the boys attacked anyone that had a bowl

Papa's new pjs from the boys. His favorite M & M's! The pants say "surrounded by nuts" and it couldn't be more true!

This is the boys' official THANK YOU for all the Valentine's gifts they have received in the mail and in person!!! We try to teach the boys how important it is to thank people for what they are given so every time they get something in the mail we immediately call and the boys yell THANK YOU or something close. CT will say the words, Linc will kiss the phone, and Max rambles off something. It means more coming from them and it is great for whoever to hear from them. Grandma Millie couldn't stop laughing when she was talking to them on Monday.

An early shout out to Tim's mom Linda, the boys' Nama, for babysitting this weekend so Tim and I could enjoy dinner out! There will be pictures to come of their time together!!
