Here's My Heart


Here's my valentine. I didn't have the fun (?) of making these cookies with Ella, but I thought they were perfect for Valentine's Day. Ella loves to help! My daughter-in-law and I were talking the other day, and she mentioned how Ella loves to help. She is quick to pull a chair up to the counter in the kitchen to help her mommy or daddy. Because they both work, I know how hard it is to take that extra time to let them "help." I don't remember when I was little helping my mother. Because she, too, was a working mother, she often just wanted to get into the kitchen and get it done. I never did really learn a lot about cooking from my mother, so I'm glad to see that they take the time to include her in the "fun" in the kitchen.

I'm up in Virginia spending a week with Ella now. We've had a grand time these last two days. Tonight as I was saying good night to her, she said, "I love you, Grammy." That's all I need or want. Have a happy valentine's day tomorrow with your loved one.

What a cutie she is! So much fun for you to spend a week with Ella. I hope you're making a note of all the silly funny things she says to you. They grow up so fast. I am finding it very hard to grasp the fact that baby Callum will be 1 year old this week!! Where did that helpless little baby go? He's now quite a character with his own likes, dislikes and opinions!!! Amazing!

Ella will grow up to be a good little baker, and she'll bring you homemade cookies and say "I Love You, Grammy!!" That will always be all you'll need to hear from her. She's a sweetheart for sure!

I am so looking forward to having my grandkids 'help' out. Only for me ...it will probably be more in the garden than the kitchen. :-)
