Valentine's Day

My favorite memories of Valentine's Day growing up weren't the cards that I received in elementary school from my classmates, or the presents from boyfriends in high school.  My favorite memories each February have to do with my Dad.  Dad always gave me and my mom a present on Valentine's Day- whether it was candy or flowers or jewelry.   It was a nice way of telling the two of us that we were his two special valentines.  (He brought me chocolate covered pretzels this year.)  I told Andy about this tradition a few weeks ago, but I didn't know if he was listening.

On Sunday, Andy and Drew went on a secret errand.  They wouldn't tell me where they were going and Drew had this really excited look on his face as they left the apartment together.   Apparently, Andy told him all about Valentine's Day and the special tradition. They came home with homemade cards and yummy Crumbs cupcakes for me and Katie!  It was so sweet and I love that this tradition that my dad started years ago is continuing in our little family.
