Then and now: Valentine's Day cards

Like a lot of couples, Hubby and I have always exchanged cards on Valentine's Day. In the last few years, I've noticed a change in the types we (especially I) buy. It's not a bad change. I just don't always feel the need to buy such serious cards anymore. The Valentine's cards I used to buy always used to look something like this:

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore....oh wait.

Happy (late) Halloween! Grace had her whole heart and soul set on dressing up as Dor-uh-fee (Dorothy) again this year, so that was that. I guess the girl just knows what she likes!

I looked back on last year's Halloween pictures and can't believe how much she's grown since then. She says she's going to be Dor-uh-fee when she grows up, so this little blue gingham dress won't be going to Goodwill anytime soon. I have a sneaking suspicion I may need to hang on to it for next year!

Then and now...

Nap time then:

Tuck baby in, kiss baby, watch baby close eyes, leave the room, come back four hours later.

Nap time now:

God help me, I've angered it!
