Dear Nikon

Thank you. Thank you for finally, finally presenting not only a competitor to Canon’s awesome 5D Mark II, but something better.

Z Day

While our Valentine’s Day didn’t exactly go according to plan, I’d still consider it a success.

45:365I love that M knows my favorite flowers are gerber daisies, and that he knows that I'd rather have daisies over traditional roses, even (or especially?!) on Valentines Day. (FYI, I gave M "Top Gun" for VDay. On Blu-ray no less. Yep. We're made for each other!)I hope you all gave and received love today, and indeed that you give and receive it EVERY day.

VDay Prep

We are ready to go for Valentine's Day. She has written her cards according to instructions, and heart erasers are attached. Her box of chocolates is ready to go for her teacher. We used a tissue box, two toilet paper rolls and construction paper to create a castle for her to collect her Valentines. After she went to bed, I made rice krispie treats and used red food coloring to tint them pink. M's little gift is wrapped and card written, both hidden, which is an accomplishment in itself in our micro-home. For the first time in years, I feel ready for Valentines Day. Unlike the year I took Zozer to preschool with no Valentines. The guilt from that will propel me for life, I think.

39:365Snow! We didn't get as much as I had hoped, but it was enough to make the world beautiful this morning.
