On Love and Valentines


It's hard to believe our Edward is "8" today. I was thinking about it last night when we were decorating the house for his birthday. The time buzzes by so quickly.

What is special about this little Valentine of ours?

  • He's especially tall and wispy for his age, but he looks very small next to his big sister and cousin.
  • He wants his hair to be "dark ash blonde" when he grows up.
  • He's got a great sense of humor and loves reading joke books.
  • He loves to reach out and hold my hand at the table.
  • He is awesome in mathematics, but just recently he told me in excitement that he was "full of literature" and couldn't stop writing sentences -- complete ones even, he said.
  • He still wants to go out on "dates" with me.
  • He loves wearing matching shirts with his baby brother Ethan.
  • He has the cutest wink.
  • He loves that he was born on Valentine's Day.


  • Happy Happy Happy 8th Birthday, Edward!
    You will always be our favorite Valentine!!!
