Valentine's Hearts

I know Valentine's Day was a month ago, but I wanted to share some sweet quotes from Diego. For Ricardo's present we made him a tin with hearts inside. For several days in a row, throughout the day, I asked Diego "Why do you love Papa?" and I wrote his reponses on the hearts for Ricardo. I wrote out several of my own hearts and Alexia responded a few times with sweet words of her own.
Here are a few of Diego's quotes:
- "Cuz I give him a lot of kisses and he gives me a lot of kisses"
- "Porque es el mas grande de la familia. Y Dios es el mas grande del mundo" (Because he is the biggest one in the family and God is the biggest one in the world")
- "I love Papa porque me cuida y a veces viene temprano" (because he takes care of me and sometimes comes home early)
- "Yo amo a Papa porque le encanta la nieve" (I love Papa because he loves the snow")
- "Cuz he loves me"
And Alexia:
- "Cuddles"
- "Porque si" (just because)
- "I love Papi!"
Ricardo pulled out the tin this evening and read through all the hearts and they made us smile.

We are doing great and have been keeping busy this past week. Today we had a wonderfully relaxing day as a family and look forward to hanging out together again tomorrow! Ricardo's work has been extremely demanding lately so we truly savor our weekends together!!

What a wonderful idea.....and what a treasure to savor many years later when they are much older. You are the best mama in the work for coming up with such fun special things for your kiddos to do. You are my inspiration !!
