I loved my family and my friends and dogs and dolphins and rabbits. I loved rainbows and Smurfette and soccer. I loved music, diet Mountain Dew, new shoes, and most of the time I loved my sister. I loved the color red, a good book, clean sheets. I loved the beach, a bubble bath, brownies and ice cream.
And then I loved a boy. When we said our vows, I was smitten. Ohmygoodness I loved the man I got to marry, my all-the-time valentine, and I've adored him more ever since. Unwavering, unyielding love.
And now I love my children. I love my children with all my heart, from the deepest place I own. With them, I’ve learned to love all the way.
All the way.
My love for anything else has been eclipsed, just a pale light in comparison.

Jenni Baby,
Great post...and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the last pic. It's funny, I always just assumed, that to save time and money, you just ran Tucker through the carwash.

P.S. Grandma Sandy has asked me to be the DD on Valentine's Day, that makes 10:20 the over/under on her passing out. Gotta love her!
I've grown to love family blogs. Oh, it's true, at first I couldn't figure 'em out...NOW not only do I understand 'em, I love 'em. I'm right here, right next door, visiting every day. Standing in your kitchen. Hugging and talking and listening and laughing and crying and kissing and holding hands. Together. I'm not hundreds of miles away. I'm right here. You're right here. I love that.
Fabulous Pictures!!!! And wonderful post. Thanks for sharing.
