Happy Valentine's Day!

This week was another hectic one in the Heiple house. Shortly after everyone recovered from the flu bug, we all caught a nasty upper respiratory bug. Livi started it two weeks ago, but it never seemed like more than a common cold, but it lasted two weeks. I ended up getting it last Thursday, and then by Friday, all three of us were in Express Care. They gave Livi an antibiotic because she was on week two, but they refused to treat Joey and I...made me furious! So by the next week we had Joey in to see our family doctor who treated him with a double ear infection, and then Joey blew an eardrum again! This is the SECOND time I have brought my son to Express Care, they refused to give him an antibiotic, and then a couple days later he is very sick and blows an eardrum. Grrr!

Anyway, we all got healthy for Valentine's Day, except Jas got a touch of what we had, but not too bad. On Valentine morning, Livi and Joey woke up to find a surprise Valentine in the living room for them. They were very excited and opened them immediately. Then they had yummy "LOVE" poptarts for breakfast. This was Joey's favorite part, he loved saying the letters as he ate them!

Unfortunately, Valentine's Day fell on a work day, but it was also a school day for Livi. She had a pajama day/Valentine Party. They are studying the letter P this week, so the teachers made Valentine's Day even more special for them. Livi had a blast and got lots of valentines!

After school, Grandma Heiple came down for a few hours and brought Livi, Joey, and Jas out to lunch and also brought down a valentine for everyone. Then later in the evening, I brought Livi and Joey to see Grandma and Jim. They received another valentine from them...they are VERY loved!

Thank you to everyone for all of the valentines you mailed and gave to us; we had an amazing Valentine's Day. We are very blessed to have such a loving family!
