Valentine’s for Three!
Anna sewed several layers of felt into this hart for the front door. Spoiler alert for the neighbors: We're dorks!
I have to admit from the get-go Valentine’s Day did creep up on me this year.
Anna makes a wicked good pizza crust! These are homemade heart-shaped pizzas.
It’s partly because we’re still settling into our new lives in Virginia and partly because we now have a baby who turns time into a blur. At least for me. Anna and I love each other very much but at this point in Crowley’s young life he is so adorable, we’d rather spend an unromantic weekend at home with the baby than get a sitter and go out. We’re those losers!
Yes, we’ve heard all the expert advice about rekindling the romance
The baby's asleep and I'm out of red wine! A wild bunch we are not.
after the baby is born: “Go out at least once a month! make sure you get time for yourself.” Yadda yadda yadda. We’re not really worried about that. We’ll make time for that… TRUST ME! We will make time for THAT!
Where was I? Four years ago I was in Rome, Italy, shooting a story on Valentine’s Day with a beautiful Italian girl who said, “I hate this day for I have no love!” Been there. Haven’t we all? Some of you are there now. Hang in there. It’s gets worse before it gets really, really bad. And then whammo! Love lands on you like a meteorite.
For the Redding’s this is our first Valentine’s Day with little baby boy. He exists because of our love and our commitment… and some great red wine! Anyway, he’s a part of our Valentine’s celebration. If he could just stay awake!
We made heart-shaped pizzas, drank a great red wine (uh-oh) and played with Crowley until we all fell asleep.
As Valentine’s Days go, this one will be hard to beat… MR
Anna rocks,
This is the kind of woman who will find a way to bring joy whether you have a lot or a little. I’m not a big jewelry person, but I do save the Valentine candy boxes and to keep my earrings in the candy slots.
