This week being Valentines week, the kids have class parties and card exchanges in their classes. Leonard, being the BEST Mr. Mom this week took the kiddos to Wally World to pick out treats and cards for their classmates. When they got home, it turned out that the Spongebob Valentines Cards that Blake picked out never made it into the cart and so he didn't have any. I mentioned to Leonard that we... the girls & I could get some paper from my scrap cabinet and make some quick ones for the Blakey boy's preschool party which was the next morning, Thursday.
Well, the time came and went and we never ended up making him cards. I thought to my self, oh well he is 3 and he won't care, he doesn't even read or is really old enough to get it. I went to bed and didn't think of it again.
Thursday Morning...Leonard is getting kids ready for school, I get up to see if I can help and when I come down stairs I see my Leonard sitting at the table making cards for Blake's class.
Oh My GOODNESS...my heart just melted!
For one thing, he remembered that Blake was having a party and he was brave enough to get paper from my cabinet and made these sweet heart cards for all the kids so Blake could join in the card exchange! I fell deeply in love with this man all over again. This sweet and simple gesture was so thoughtful and caring and reminded me why I love this man so much!
I LOVE YOU Leonard Zito!!!!!
When I told him to stay right there I NEED a picture of this, I think he thought I would tease him about his crooked hearts....NO WAY JOSE! THIS IS LOVE!!!!
True Love!!! Thank you for all you do for me and our family, big and small! They matter and they are appreciated! XOXOXOXOXOX
This is our happy Blakey Boy...freshly bathed and ready for Pre-School Valentine's Party with his Special handmade cards and treats to share!
As I had my camera in my hand this morning I took a couple other pictures of some other tokens of love. Flowers from a Friend. It has been fun to watch the lilly's bloom. all 4 are opened now and I get to admire God's Beauty....I LOVE FLOWERS. My mom & kiddos got me a bundle of LOVE balloons and they were placed on the table and I was happily surprised to see them when I got home from the hospital, and I also got love notes from my kids too...nothing better than that! Another friend gave me my only Valentines Day decor I have out this month. I love it! Thanks! I have been spoiled by other friends and family as well. I got a bucket of love filled with goodies, magazines, and stuff...should have taken a pic but didn't. Like I have mentioned before. I feel loved! My friends and family are wonderful. They put a smile on my face. I love all the goodies, cards, phone calls, blog comments, emails. They really mean so much to me! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
One more token of Love... My Lenny has made me Breakfast in bed almost everyday. Steel Cut Oatmeal is my new favorite! It's healthy, hearty, warm and delicious! It might not look the best in this pic. but trust me it is Yummy goodness!
I Sure Love You Leonard! You are my One and Only! My Valentine! XOXOXOX

Okay, I literally just burst into tears at the cards Leonard made for Blakey! So sweet. You really married a wonderful guy. We sure miss you guys. And you especially have been in our thoughts and prayers lately.

Aaah, those homemade Valentines brought tears to my eyes too. What a great dad.
PS - I figure you'll be missing Lenny's help next week and I can't be there to help out so your little "pick-me-up" from the Dennis family will arrive on Wednesday! Look forward to something YUMMY! Feel better soon.
I LOVE it! Blake is getting so big, what a cutie patootie! He just looks so sweet! What a sweetheart your husband had been, you two are both darling! Hey, I am a big oatmeal eater, love it and so does my Blakey! Where do you get that type, I've never heard of it! You'll have to email me and let me know so I can try it! Happy Valentines Day!
