Coming Home and Valentine's Day

We got the kids first thing Saturday morning.  We spent that day doing lots of laundry and reassuring Jack that he could go play by himself.  He wouldn't let me put him down almost all day long! We also discovered that Jack learned how to crawl up the stairs all by himself!

We gave the kids their souvenirs too.  Each one of them loved it.  The boys loved them so much they wouldn't hold still, so their souvenirs are blurry in each of the pics.  I've included a close up of each souvenir so we can see what they looked like. 

The kids were excited to give us the Valentine's they had made for us while we were gone.

We did celebrate Valentine's Day the next day, but didn't take any pictures.  (We were probably all pictured out from the week.) We had our traditional doughnuts and chocolate milk breakfast and then the kids opened our gifts to them.  We gave Clara a diary that has a lock on it, which she has been using a lot.  She even has hidden the key from us.  :)  We gave Joe a ninja guy he's been eyeing every time we've been to the store lately.
