Giving and Getting Valentines

Earlier this week Jonas picked out what Valentines he wanted to send to his friends and family. There were a lot of choices! He wrote his name on each one. He's very talented.

Jonas was so excited when his cousins Max and London sent him a Valentine. Shifu from Kung Fu Panda was on the front and he loves it when we say that name and of course looking at the picture. That was sure sweet of you guys to think of Jonas! Thanks for making his day.
More Valentine pictures will be coming...Whit has to work and I thought I would wait to get pictures of his Valentine's from his Mom and Dad.
Last year for Valentine's Day I didn't even do anything for Jonas. I rationalized that by saying that he is only 3 months old, does anyone do anything for a 3 month old anyway. Well all I can say is that I am so grateful that I have a chance to do something for him this year. This time last year was not so much fun and I can remember just getting out of bed to face the tasks was a challenge. This February so far as not been much different. To be honest I have almost reverted back to how I was feeling back then. I am being the weakest link in the family right now and I am trying hard to get over it. Sometimes I don't feel like I want to be the strong one anymore. I have to remember that we have made it this far and it does no good to be depressed. I'm glad that I know I will have this little boy forever and one day he will be able to do all the things that he can't. That makes me strong.

He is so cute! You are such a great mom to help him do fun things. I can understand the feelings you are having. I don't know if you remember me, but my daughter Kynslee was in the hospital for many months (luckily we had Whit to take good care of us!) and it was hard. Our circumstances are different, but we also knew that we would not have Kynslee with us for as long as we wanted. It was so hard to deal with. I can understand not wanting to be the strong one anymore. It's draining and it's hard to stay positive. But I just wanted to tell you that I am so impressed with you and all that you do for Jonas. I don't know you guys very well at all, but I love looking at your blog and seeing the fun things you do with him. You guys are amazing. I just wanted to let you know.

Max sure misses his little buddy Jonas. When I asked him the other day who his best friend was (thinking he would say mom) he said, "um, Jonas!" It was very sweet.

Lindsey,

Know that Robert, Jesse and I are always thinking of you and love you dearly. Being a parent is the toughest job in the world. Both you and Whit are doing a great job with Jonas. Hang in there, OK?
