Valentine's Day

We have two Valentine traditions: Jeff always brings me a bouquet of roses, and Nadia a single rose. Nadia loves this (and I think Finn feels a little left out).  Our other tradition is that Jeff and I switch off on who plans the Valentine's Day date.

This year was Jeff's turn, and while it wasn't in the line of traditional romance I loved it. We celebrated on the 16th, because Jeff had the days mixed up. Don't worry, we discovered the mix up a few days before and decided to just keep the plans the same (though the flowers came on the real Valentines day). Our date was simple. First he took me to a yarn store, and stayed with me for over an hour helping me to choose out yarn without once ever complaining (if that's not love I don't know what is.) He didn't even complain when I got us lost driving out to the store. Next we went to Old Town Spring and walked around looking at the shops. It was fun, but we weren't as impressed as we had hoped to be. We finished it off with lunch. Then it was home to the kids and (for Jeff at least) getting ready for school.
