Mami has been in crutches and limping around the house for 2 weeks now, due to an ankle surgery. My Valentine has been so patience with me. He made me pancakes (my favorites) this morning and bough me flowers and chocolate (picked by Maya), what a sweet heart! We had a great day enjoying family love and the sun at the park. Spring seems to finally be here, we can not wait!

Mami lleva 2 semanas de cojear y andar con muletas debido a una cirugía en el tobillo. Mi Valentin ha tenido una paciencia enorme y me ha ayudado un montón. Además hoy me compró flores y chocolates que fueron especialmente escogidos por Maya, que divinos no? Hoy pasamos un día hermoso disfrutando del amor en familia y del sol. La primavera ya está aquí, las colinas están todas verdes y las flores están comenzando a florecer, que hermoso!

Maya's definition of love today at school: "Love is teddy bears. I love my mom because she makes me different types of food. I love my dad too. I play with him. I make tea for him. We play on my big girl bed"

The sun FINALLY came out today after days of heavy rain. We took a driving tour of our beloved Russian River valley and coast. It was gorgeous! Spring is just around the corner.
