I am such a lucky mom! I have two of the most thoughtful boys any mommy could ask for. Here is the Valentine Ashton wrote me last week, which Sean brought home yesterday since Ashton has been home all week with the flu (yes, the actual flu), including original spelling and punctuation:
Love is...
Love is when mom helps me with home work.
Love is good for good help.
Love is when a good dog is resting with me next to mom.
Love is siting by the fire.
Love is playing with my mom.
Love is sweet and cuddly
Love is a warm fuzzy hug
Love is your best friend
Love is a grate big smiyl
Love is siging with my mom
This is Sean's Valentine to Ashton, because he is sick with the flu this week (it was on a big pink heart, with a fold down front on which he colored a picture of the two of them on a sunny day, standing on the grass):
Dear Ashton
I hope you fele betr. I now you are going to mis the parte but I will take kare of you evre day and if you ask for a glas a water.
How sweet is that? Makes me feel all gushy inside, like I did something right. Happy Valentine's Day!

Birthday Blog!
Yes, I had a Birthday this week (Tuesday the 12th- Abraham Lincoln's too! Next year will be his 200th birthday, BTW), and am now 29. For the FIRST time. :) My co-workers were super sweet and threw me a little party at the library, and since I gave up sweets for Lent, we decided it would be great fun to make smoothies instead. They were so good! Afterwards, we all decided that we should have a smoothie day once a month. Here's a picture: 
And another one of the beautiful spread they made for me:
Yes, that is a cake that my supervisor made (wasn't that sweet?). It was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone but me. The flowers are still on my kitchen table, and beautiful!
Other note worthy news: Ashton lost his second tooth on Valentine's Day. After school. It's gone. He was really upset that he didn't have a tooth to put under his pillow for the tooth fairy. I told him we could make a fake tooth instead, but we haven't gotten to that, and Kevin's parent's picked up the boys for the three day weekend (driving to Berkeley tonight to visit my brother later tonight) so it'll be a little while until we get to that. If he and I remember. Sean still has a loose tooth, but he doesn't want to bug it, so it hasn't fallen out yet. But it's been like 2 weeks now! I always rocked my loose teeth back and forth with a vengeance until they came out. Anyway, back to Valentine's Day. I baked special cookies for their class parties: Ginger-honey almond cookies, recipe courtesy of Turi. Thanks dude, they were awesome! (Broke down and had one little one despite my Lenten promise. But I knew that was coming and planned on eating one anyway!) Here is a picture of them all in a bag, ready for the party!
Other news, I've finally been able to start running again! Very carefully, so I don't mess up my back. The only thing that's been holding me back are the side cramps I've been getting within the first mile or two. Anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent them? I'd be grateful if you'd share!
