Melody and I typically don’t get each other things for holidays like Valentine’s Day.
A few years ago, we got each other a note book and hand write cards to each other.
This is great because:
- It’s easy to look back at old cards
- No need to go buy a $3 card with lame text in it
- And we can be as creative as we want
Usually, I write silly poems. Here’s mine from this year:
Rose are red,
Violets are blue,
Elizabeth wrote a poem,
And now I must too!
This is the last year
from just Kenley and me
As in a few short weeks,
We’ll no longer be a family of three.
Will he come early
Or will he be late?
Oh please oh please
Let him come on his date!
Our lives have changed
so much since 2004
when we first met
and I swept you off the floor
We might be exhausted
and in bed before ten,
and sometimes I’m asleep
before we say Amen!
I honestly can’t imagine
life any other way,
And I’m glad you’re my Valentine
each and every day.
2017 will be
our most challenging year yet
wrangling our two kiddos
will surely make us sweat.
I’m guessing they will both cry some
for no reason at all
or maybe because
I took their ball 🙂
Now I want to say
From Kenley, me and baby to be
We are so proud of you
Taking care of us three.
This is the only thing
I got you this year
As we need no more chocolate
Or a stuffed Teddy Bear
And I didn’t go to the store
to buy some fancy card
since they cannot make you
smile and laugh this hard
I could go on and on
and even change the poem’s tune,
but be sure to know that
Kenley and I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON!
