Hope you are all doing well. We are healthy over here for now! Wahoooo. Knock on wood*
We have just been getting back into routine after Connor was sick -which includes lots of playing and catching up on laundry :). Thats okay because it has been horribly cold and windy so inside acitivites work for me. The other news this week in the Eklund house is that we have found a day home! I am so happy and relieved and about 1000 other things that we have found a place for Connor when I return to work. It was not an easy process to find someone and I know the first day dropping him off wont be either but I feel so much better now. I can move my thinking to how we are going to adjust to our new schedule, rather than worrying about who and where we are going to find child care. Other than that we are just living life and loving every minute of watching Connor change and develop into a little person...so sweet.
Valentines day is coming up on friday-I know everyone celebrates and recognizes it differently. In our house we show love every day but Valentines day allows all of life's noises to be drowned out and for us to just focus on one another. How ever you celebrate vday is up to you-it might mean a supper in or out, jewelery, a weekend away or just a longer cuddle under the covers than usual. I personally love any and all holidays and Valentines day is no exception. We will spend this valentines day away as a family, eating good food and spending time together. In honor of the big day I wanted to share a few of our valentines day favourites as well as some fun facts behind the holiday all week long :).

- In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This was the origin of the expression "to wear your heart on your sleeve."
