valentine's day

for the past 9 years that john and i have been together, we have never really celebrated valentine's day
i take that back-john got me a pink light bulb with flowers and a frying pan shaped ash tray one of the first years we were together
but since then, we decided not to really celebrate valetine's day...at least in february, sometimes we celebrated it in june or july but not on february 14th
well, this year was the same...we didn't again, which was fine
but evidently sophia is going to like to celebrate it...since she got a flower!
our small group right now has 1 boy (jude) and 3 little girls (sophia, lina, and alisa)
and jude arrived at our small group valentine's party with 3 carnations...one for each of them
it made me think...when will she come home saying 'i have a boyfriend' for the first time? or come home crying because her 'boyfriend' said something mean or broke her heart?
and how will i handle it? and how will john handle the boys that she dates?
i have a feeling our life is going to get way more interesting from here on out!

  1. Ahhh yes I know that feeling. I have been thinking the same thing lately. I have a feeling the Mike is going to have a much harder time with it than me, and for it won't be an easy thing. Have you seen the Folger's commercial where a girl and her dad are having coffee in the morning and she got engaged the night before and he knew because her fiance asked permission? Well every time Mike and I see it we get teary eyed and last night I think Mike was seriously crying. LOL Oh the things we have to look forward to as parents of little girls!
