Love is in the Air

So, yesterday was Valentine's Day. Not my favorite holiday in the world but anything to celebrate LOVE with my loved ones is fine by me. Jon has been in New York all week on a business trip so this year it was just me and the boys.

 Thursday night, these beautiful roses and box of chocolates were delivered. I have the sweetest husband. Even when he's far away he still makes me feel so loved and blessed.

After the boys were all done taking showers we gathered all of the books about love off the book shelf and read them. And as I sat reading Love You Forever  with my boys , I realized how blessed I truly am to have so many people to love and that love me back. (and of course it did made me cry)

Young Love

Here is my sweet Landon. About a week ago a girl in his class named Jaden asked if he would be her Valentine. On Thursday, (Feb 13) Landon came home with this painting from Jaden. In the corner it says 'I hope you like it'.  Landon informed me that he wrote her a Valentine story and drew pictures in it too. Then on Friday (the 14th)  Landon asked me if he could give Jaden one of my roses. Of course I said yes, so he selected a pink one and I wrapped the end of it for him. That day Jaden gave him this little monkey holding some candy.

On the other side of the country... Here is a picture that Jon text to me. Its taken from the top of the Empire State Building. Which of course made me think of Sleepless in Seattle.

I will do a post of Jon's NYC trip once he gets back home.

A Full House

 I realized I haven't posted lately so I started thinking of what has been going on with us. We have been quite busy actually. As mentioned in a previous post, Jon's mom broke her right foot just before Christmas. She had surgery and was put in a walking boot for 6 weeks. Well, the beginning of January I received a phone call from Jon's Dad saying he had broken his right foot and was at the doctor's office and would need a ride. I seriously thought he as trying to be funny but he wasn't. He had surgery about 5 days later to fix 3 compound fractures in his right ankle. The doctor ended up placing a plate and 7 screws in his ankle to fix it. Dad Hum was but in a hard cast and was told not to put any weight what so ever on that ankle for 8 more weeks. 

The point to this story is... Jon's parents moved in with us so that we can help during this difficult time. (For those of you who are keeping track, that makes 11 people in our house). The boys thought it was pretty awesome to be able to have Grandma and Grandpa stay with us. 

 

 The boys loved carrying down dinner to them and serving them. This picture above is Gpa with 4 of his grandkids playing cards on the bed.

 

Here are the two gimps with their matching casts. (This was before Dad Hum surgery)

 

Dad had to get a little creative with being able to do some things. Here he is trying to shave with his leg propped up on one crutch that is balancing on the counter and bath tub.

I am happy to report that Mom Hum got her walking boot off and is mostly back to complete health (except she caught the boys colds).  Dad Hum had his first hard cast removed as well as the staples in his ankle and a second hard cast put back on. He is half way through and is doing well. He will be going back to work for a couple of half days a week now.
