be my valentine

Happy Valentine's Day, my sweet Zuzu!

Today, Zuzu wore a big heart on the front of her shirt; all week she's been wearing red or hearts in honor of her first Valentine's Day. Her first homemade Valentine was given to Tata this morning (okay, we confess -- we made it, not Zuzu); however, while at Tata's she made us a Valentine gift that she actually painted.

Today Ty came to my work bearing lunch and a heart-shaped dessert, and then filled in for me so I could participate in the school secret Valentine partner reveal. Needless to say, both the lunch and filling in for me was really thoughtful.
"How many people got flowers at school today?" he asked me when I came home tonight.
"Three."
"Yeah," he joked, "but how many people's spouses actually showed up in person and gave them the best gift of all -- their time?"

So tonight we're all spending time together as a family -- our favorite thing to do!
