Valentines Day

Valentines Day was a little different this year, in some ways.  Unfortunately there was a shooting at LT's school the day before, which caused the school to shut down on Valentines Day.  Despite these very unfortunate and difficult circumstances, we managed to spend the day as a family and make it a decent one.  We had a lot of time for conversations and making sure everyone was OK emotionally.  

I made a pancake bar for the kids in the morning, took LT to Brothers Bar for lunch and we had our traditional fondue for dinner.   Also unfortunately, a terrible stomach virus was going around B's class and he was one of 15 kids to get it Valentines night :(  Not an ideal day, but life can be hard at times.  

I write each kid a valentine heart each day in Feb (I've done this for years and years), B decided to write his brothers each one this year.  So sweet.
