The Valentine Eating Dog, etc.

In 2006, the per capita consumption of candy was 26 pounds! Apparently our dog is as crazy about Valentine's Day treats as we are. Lauren made a Valentine at school that said "I love you" in candy hearts. We recently found Riley munching on the Valentine. Luckily, we discovered this before she ate too many letters. We didn't know candy hearts were appealing to dogs but, then again, Riley will eat anything we give her. Here is the partially munched Valentine:

Lauren doesn't wear a lot of barrettes and other frilly things in her hair, despite her enormous collection of ponytail holders, barrettes, headbands, etc. She actually went to preschool the other day with pigtails and barrettes! (She did not come home with them.)

Zachary's last basketball game is this coming Monday. Then we're on to minor league baseball! He was really excited to earn an "Accelerated Reader" keychain at school recently!

Just TEN family practice clinical days to go before I have completed the clinical hours required for my nurse practitioner program. Hooray! (My last class continues through April, but it will be nice to be finished with one component.)

David has been busy at work lately (e.g. 2 briefs to work on in one day recently) so he is surely looking forward to our upcoming Florida trip. We are going to Disney World for a few days and then we'll watch Matt play baseball in Port Charlotte.

Enjoy the rest of the week!
