Valentine's Day

Our home is full of love.  Along with dust and cat hair, it's settled quietly on everything--  our old green couch; boxes of outdated textbooks and unfinished artwork; photo albums from college when we were and weren't dating; Violet's baby clothes; your jar of bottle caps.

Yet, among the clutter of our everyday life-marriage-parenting, Valentine's Day is fun, and special.  
-An excuse for me to remind you that -- freshly, newly, presently-- still you spark my interest; through the lull of daily life, I continue to choose you.  And this little empire we have built within this small apartment, with a short-stack dictator who we both raise and obey-- it's all side-lines to my love for you.

Your ladies adore you, and the little one made you this parade.
