full of love

I soldiered through the last couple of days braving fevers over 103° and deeming my ability at taking care of my two sick children. but a UPS delivery this morning shrugged off insecurities and exhaustion, filling my heart with abundant love from Spain and my butt with chocolate fat, and a good friend patted me on my back, her words filtering through my soul and reminding me to hope, to be strong, to be valiant.

thank you all for your kind comments and emails. I promise to respond as soon as I can.

Happy Valentine's Day,

xoxo

Happy Love Day...lots of x's and o's to you and the boys. Hope they're back to their usual rambunctious selves in no time. :)

I read your post at Blogging Baby and saw the picture of your boys. Bless their hearts! I think any mom could look at that picture of them and remember exactly that same moment, when one of our dear little ones were sick. Hopefully by now they are doing much better! :) High tempuratures can be sooo scary, and you had it double! Wishing them a speedy recovery and smiling at your strength. Hugs!
