A Valentine's Day to Remember

Well, we've had a pretty eventful morning and afternoon, and we'll get to that in a bit. First, the kids wanted to wish their loves a Happy Valentine's Day.....

Dear Miss Lauren,

Thank you for the Valentine's Day gift. I tried it on, but dad made me take if off and give it to Danna. She was so excited and wore it the rest of the day (see pics below). I told her it made her look like a peacock when she crawled around....but really, I was just jealous. Hope you and your siblings and mom and dad have a great day!

Love,

Your strong, sensitive man, Pius

p.s. I'm also making mom upload a video of me showing off. I'm a smarty pants and have lots of the baby signs down pat!

"Hi Lauren!"

"Lauren, I love you more than my favorite college football team. Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?"

Dear Miss Emma,

I tried to steal mom away for myself this Valentine's Day. I'm such a mama's boy, but I'm just using her as a substitute until I can get my hands on you. Let me tell you all about it......See, I've been running a high fever (about 103 degrees) for the last 3 days. Day 4 rolled around and I was still hot and trying to get anorexic by refusing to eat or drink anything. Dad called the doctor to get me an appt at the Saturday clinic way out on the east side of town. Mom took me in, the doctor stuck Q-tips down my throat, looked in my hears and listened to my heart and lungs. They told mom I needed a chest xray at the hospital. So mom laid her purse/keys/cell phone on the van floor and loaded me into my new carseat. She shut the door and I heard a little clicking sound. Mom got a wide-eyed look of panic on her face and frantically went around to every door, but didn't open any of them. Then she went back in to the doctor's office and came out with someone else's cell phone. Shortly after that, I saw some of Wichita's finest Fire Fighters looking in the window at me. I overheard the nice man say something about how they don't have the tools to open locked doors anymore because too many lawsuits had been brought against the department for broken windows (stupid sue-happy people). Fortunately daddy was on his way after Aunt Lainie got to the house to watch my brothers and sister. All-in-all, I only spent about an hour in the car by myself. I was a big boy and only cried about 90% of the time.....but that was mainly just to make mom feel bad. After all that, we went to the hospital to take a picture of my chest and then to the ER so I could flirt with all of mommy's nurse friends (don't worry, my lil punkin....I DIDN'T do it. I just wasn't feeling up to it). Then we went home. Whew! What a day. I didn't want to give you, my love, this virus I have through the computer, so I wore a mask while typing. And if you're wondering about my new and improved grammar from last post, I wisened up and decided I didn't want to act like Uncle Ryno anymore.

Love,

Your main man, Frosty

"I guess I still love my mama....even if she did lock me in the van."

"I love you buckets and buckets, Emma-girl! Have you got a Band-aid? Because I just skinned up my knees falling for you!"

Dear Abbey,

Not much to report on here in the Heartland. I loved watching you walk all over the place in your video....walking is SO easy! I can't believe it's taking so long for the rest of our siblings to catch up. We're DEFINITELY the most athletic and were destined to be together. Have I told you lately how much I love you? I'd even eat glass for you (see mom's last post). In fact, I'd eat just about anything (see mom's last post). Oodles of X's and O's for my Doodle!

Love,

Your Laine Train

"I'd spoon-feed you chocolate, Abbey."

"Doodle....girl, you've GOTTA be tired. You've been runnin' through my head all day!"

Dear Tyger,

As I already told you on your blog, I loved your sexy pose for me. I just wanted to eat those red velvet cupcake crumbs right off of you! I'm feeling a little under the weather right now too. I don't want to get you sick again, so I'll just have to blow you lots of kisses and hope they make it all the way to Baton Rouge. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day! Grrrrrrrrr (that's me trying to purr like a tiger).

Love,

Your one and only Danny Ba-nanny

p.s. Does this tutu make my butt look big?

Hope everyone has a better Valentine's Day than the Graf Fam! And just a friendly reminder to NEVER trust your car locks......

Big, Fat Smooches!
