Happy Valentine's Day!

AnLi waiting for daddy to come home so she can give him his heart-shaped box of candies. She also drew a heart on the frosted glass. :)

But look what came through the door!

CHOCOLATE!

One bite for AnLi, one bite for daddy.

Then it was time for the girls to open their presents. They of course need nothing! Carli was a little scared of the balloons, but AnLi loves them.

Still trying to get that hug, Carli.

A baby sister,
What is that?
Is it like,
A family cat?

She’s not a cat,
She’s just like you,
She laughs and cries,
And giggles, too.

So where’s she at,
This other me?
Is she here?
I want to see.

You came from far,
And so does she.
Just like you,
We’ll cross the sea.

How far is far,
I want to know.
Come on Mommy,
Let’s go, let’s go!

Just like you,
She’s far away,
We’ll have to wait,
‘til travel day.

She’s so far,
For her it’s light,
But for you,
For you, it’s night.

Come on darling,
Step outside,
What do you see,
Up in the sky?

I see the stars,
I see the moon.

The moon you see,
She sees at night.
When for you,
For you it’s light.

Tell the moon,
How you love her,
Tell the moon,
How you miss her.
Tell the moon
She’s your baby sister.
Tell the moon
We’ll come and get her.

From you to her,
She’ll hear you soon,
Across the world,
Two girls, one moon.

And so one day,
As time has passed,
We sit outside,
Upon the grass.
It is dark,
But it is light,
Our friend the moon,
Lights up the night.

Holding hands,
And side by side,
One moon, two girls,
My sister and I.
