Valentine's Day...A Little Late

I had a very very very long day today. I knew it was going to be a long day, with a departure time of about 3:45am for me (for work), so Juliette and I hatched part of our Valentine's Day plan on Saturday Morning. Then again on Sunday Morning.

This happened two mornings in a row

Mom was surprised and very happy.

We spent most of the day Sunday out and about. Even though there was still a ton of snow on the ground, the quick rise in temperatures meant we could be out without jackets!

We're not neglectful, the snow is misleading; it really was about 60 degrees

But today, I had to get out of the house long before Jules was up, and didn't get home until just about bedtime. In fact, Kathy cheated a little and kept Juliette up so that I could read her a story or two before she went to sleep.

But the best part about coming home was my Valentine's Day present was waiting for me on the table:

It says "Thank You Thank You Daddy Love Jules Kathy & [Amethyst]" Amethyst didn't actually put her paw print in icing on the cookie, I am told.

So, though I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with my family on Valentine's Day, it was still a pretty good day. Kathy's getting the remainder of her present on Saturday (it was supposed to be this past Saturday, but she had a lot of work that had to be done before today, so I postponed it for a week) so I'll let you all know how that goes.
