Guess How Much I Love You

When Nicholas was born I could not read sappy books or sing sappy lullabyes without breaking into tears. 

If I even looked at the book 

"Guess How Much I Love You"

I would tear up

When I read the last time of the book

-I love you all the way to the moon and back-

that I knew what that meant

because I felt it everytime I looked at Nicholas

I held a stuffed Nut Brown Hare when I went in to deliver Brandon

Despite 3 boys, it takes everything in my will power not to re-do the nursery in blue bunnies

 Today I end my blog with my {hardly original} motto, but  it was all encompassing and meaningful to me as a Mother.
When I saw these cookies on Etsy, I screamed out in delight!

It inspired me to tell you guys why I have "I love you to the moon and back" as my signature

And then had ordered some cookies :)

My Valentines

Dan's in the doghouse. and he knows why. And funny, just today I got the sweetest email from a girl at the coffee shop that I stop at every morning. She said: "Happy Valentine's Day to you and Dan - you guys are so adorable together and really set the example of what a couple should be!" 

 Cookies from Rise & Shine

Does a mylar balloon + chocolate turtles =  "should be"?? haha. Is it sad that after 8 years we 1. either don't take these holidays seriously, no matter how contrived, or 2, we have everything we need (except that gold metallic Tory Burch Hobo bag at Saks, ahem) Anyways today I have two Valentine's and they are the ones that count.

 

 The Ladies Love Me

 Mommy and Nick...and the mylar balloon

Brandon isn't Nickys' Valentine....

PS. I didn't do any better. The card I bought Dan is in the rental car at SFO and his idea of a Valentine's gift isn't men's sportswear...

PPS. We did go to dinner last night at Hudsons on the Bend and had a wonderful evening! Yum. I guess I can let him off the hook and he is making me dinner right now.... :)

Happy Valentine's Day to you from the Abeling's!
