Happy St. Valentine's Day!

We've had a big snowstorm over the last two days, so Katie, Joseph, and Matthew have been outside playing in the new piles of snow for over an hour. They were excited to get out and see if all of their footprints from the past week had been filled in. At the moment, they are piling even more snow onto the pile that slid off the roof.

Since they were busy, I had time to make a strawberry chiffon pie for dessert tonight. Usually during Lent, we don't eat dessert after dinner, but I'm making an exception for St. Valentine. Even though he isn't officially on the Church calendar anymore, it's a good day to talk about love: the real kind. Our art project for the afternoon is to make a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to write messages of love to Him on the back.

Our messages of love to all of you are made and some are mailed, but most will have to be sent tomorrow. I know this means most people will get them late....again. I'm sorry. I never can seem to get the mail out early enough in February.

While you wait for the mail, here's a valentine photo of our message of love from above. We think she or he has Matthew's nose :-)
