Every valentines I give the kids jelly beans and books. This morning I was running when they woke up, but Josh said Huddy had a Christmas morning reaction to their valentine surprises and exclaimed, “The Easter bunny came to see us.” Nailed it.
Harper’s beans had been snagged at this point.
The weather was amazing today. Like tee and flip flop weather. I came so close to wearing my flip flops. I spent most of the day with Amon. He’s joy. Someone asked if he ever frowns…he does sometimes, but this kid seriously blows us away…the happiest baby I’ve ever seen.
We went to Harper’s ice cream valentines party. Amon was a big hit. He got quite a bit of love and it was super fun to watch Harper and her class go through all their valentines. Way cute.
We ate a lot of sweet treats today. Like a lot, a lot. Maybe they’ll sugar crash in their sleep and we’ll dodge the misbehaving wee Kelleys. But a sugar crash is just part of Valentines…it’s tradition.
I got some serious snuggles before bed too and we read some of their new books. I always do pictures in stages in hopes of getting a good smiley one. Always works.
Silly face.
Mad Face.
Suppose to be serious face, but I was the only one who succeeded.
And happy. This is the one I was after…hard work pays off.
Everyone went to bed early and then Josh Kelley and I enjoyed an in-home-date-night with wings and cupcakes. It’s pretty much the direct route to my heart.
It was quite the lovely day. It was full of sweets…sugary ones and wee Kelley ones and Josh Kelley himself. Hope you all had a lovely Valentines and felt smothered in love today.
Happy Thursday <3 Day.
Thank you so much for sharing your family with us! It has been a joy to watch the miracles unfold in your life. It has been a blessing to see God himself be your comfort and hope in the difficult times. You are a beautiful, godly family and I am honored to call you my friends in the Lord. Love to you and yours!
I love The Kelley’s! And love the pics
I love that you guys do date night at home too! We have 2 ET sons, and 3 bio kiddos, and 2 China sons on the way home in 6 mos or so. Life won’t always be THIS busy, but right now it is and this is the path we have chosen for our family. I don’t ever ever want my husband to feel like he is not appreciated, or there isn’t time for US, he is my #1. SO! Kids in bed at 8, date night for the Mama and Daddy! It doesn’t matter what we eat (tho Wings? HELLO! YUM!), as long as we are together! Happy Love!
