Valentines day

Valentines day was pretty good this year. I lavished Joni with presents, so I think she will forgive me that she didn't get flowers. We had our traditional fondue dinner. We were afraid at first that the cheese wasn't going to work out, but with some patience (on Joni's part), things worked out ok. We had two kinds of cheese fondue, and chocolate for dessert.

After supper, we put the kids to bed...they were all very good, but Annette in particular managed to be extra 'sweet'. We tucked her into bed, and sang to her ("Over the Rainbow"). She was very sweet to me, and cuddly - giving hugs, squeezing me tight, the whole deal. I stayed after the song to talk to her, and ask her if she had a good day, if she liked chocolate, etc. Then, when it was time for me to go, I said "Good night, I love you." Her reply:

"Go away now."

Ah, little girls!
