Love is...

...carefully sharing a slice of bread. E and J threw theirs to the ducks and pigeons, A ate hers! As my real Valentine was working, J warmed my heart, holding my hand ever so tenderly, trusting that I would keep him safe and happy, pausing briefly for a stick and later a rice cake. I felt very proud toddling around the Botanics with three adorable littles. We fed the ducks, failed to tempt any squirrels, ate chocolate hearts, visited the secret aquarium and splashed happily in puddles, at least until the rain got so heavy we were all soaked. Time to dash home. Thank you J, my smiles didn't even fade with the cold, wet, dark, walk or screams of the Rowley girls! Happy Valentine's.
