Making Valentines

Dear Charlie....

Happy Valentines Day.  We made Valentines today.  Mommy had some heart shapes in a bag so we made cards for Mommy and Daddy as well as Poppa who will be coming from Virginia today.  Diva will be glad to see him.  I like the valentine that you drew your hand and then put hearts on each of your fingers.  I think you are very creative just like your Mommy and Daddy.

Henry liked making cards and drawing pictures too.  These are the kind of valentines Diva used to make as a little girl.  We made cards out of construction paper and cut out hearts to glue on them.  I like getting valentine from my special boys.

Thank you for a fun activity that I got to share with you and Henry today.

Love you more than Valentines....even ones with chocolate in them and that's a lot of love Buddy.

xoxo  your Diva

Time with my boys

Dear Charlie Bear,

What a fun time we had today.  Daddy had to go out of town today and Mommy and Oscar had school.  I came to be with you and Henry while Miss Maddie was in the hospital.

Poppa found some really cool cars from the Cars movie that he knew you and Henry would really like.  You figured out how to make them talk and scoot across the floor really fast.  Poppa will be impressed with how quickly you discovered how to make them work.

Today we did all the puzzles in the bins and found all the lost pieces.  Both you and Henry are very good at doing puzzles.  Mommy will be glad to know that you found the missing pieces.

I was surprised to find out you must have 20 or 30 puzzles.  I remember working puzzles with you before Henry was born.  I love watching you help Henry just the way Oscar would help you when you were two.  You are very kind to him and will give him hints how to make the pieces fit.  You will say, "That's right, just turn it a little bit, it will fit there."


Thank you for being a good big brother.  I love you Buddy.

Your Diva
