Valentines Day
..is my next best day of the year. The best is of course my birthday- oh and the triplets birthday. This year it started early - last night my husband gave me a beautiful vintage ring from 1974 - his birth year. It is by a well known Swedish goldsmith, who still have a business in Stockholm. We got quite low key wedding bands, as we wanted something which worked with everything. And my husband said he'd give me a diamond for every child we get. Well, I wanted three stones at once obviously! I got a separate ring instead and I love it! It symbolises so much for me and I'll wear it at all times. Fits perfectly!
And tulips! I got tulips!
And I got to spend v-day with my fabulous girls! We had veggies and laughed a lot this afternoon. They have arrived in the age of 'everything is funny and mummy is the funniest'! So we were all crawling and rolling around on the floor, rolling over each other, laughing, making sounds and having a great time. My stepson joined in as well after seeing how much giggeling was going on. He is really great with the girls. Takes care of them, loves to cuddle them - especially Antonia and always has a smile or pat on the head for them. Even if he is a cool teenager. It makes life so much easier if you are surrounded by love and understanding and respect instead of thinking the whole world is against you and you are a victim of some sort.
My husband just came home from a day of job meetings and I can hear him making dinner in the kitchen, while I am putting the girls to sleep. Who both woke up by the way... let's hope they fall asleep quickly again.
