Valentine’s Day was very exciting this year.
It was also very busy, so I woke Micah up with breakfast in bed.
-
And we munched on some tasty cookies from Royal to Navy. He brought them over and asked her to be his Valentine. If she wouldn’t have said yes, I would have — just to get a hold of those delicacies.
After getting ready, we headed to ABC Prechool. It was Scout’s first day back (as an observer and to show off his legs to his buddies), and Navy had her very first preschool performance. They sang love songs for V Day, and I died over her when she walked in a circle and sang, “If you don’t walk as most people do. Some might walk away from you. But I won’t….I won’t.” She did a really good job of shaking her head no during the “I won’t” part.
Then they each passed out their Valentines to the other kids. Scout needed a bit of help, but went right along with everything like not a day had passed.
Obviously he was stoked to be back, and picked up right where he left off. And all of those sweet kids were so nice, helpful and excited to see him. It was a happy reunion.
-
After the cupcakes, the kids went out back to play a bit. I was in a conversation, and someone helped him out. Keep in mind that the doctor told us it would be 2-3 weeks before he was stumbling around. So you can imagine my utter amazement when less than 24 hours after he got his cast off, I looked over to see him walk into the house by himself.
And I am not talking 3 feet — it was at least 25 feet he walked. And he wasn’t holding anything. He was trying to make it to where the class was gathering to sing their goodbye song.
-
He made it, sang it with them and insisted on walking out by himself.
I was FLOORED!
Literally FLOORED.
I scrambled to get my video camera out to catch it, and luckily caught a few seconds.
-
As soon as we got into the car, we called Micah to tell him.
And then we told him to come down from his office to say hello.
As he came out of the front door, we told him to stop. Then I let go of Scout’s hand, and he walked all the way to Micah. I was video taping next to my mom. We both knew Micah had to be bawling because we were both emotional.
It was one of the sweetest scenes I have ever seen.
When we got into the car, my Mom asked Scout, “Scout, how did you know you could walk?”
He said, “Because I am the boss of my own legs. And I choosed to walk.”
What a great lesson from my triumphant little boy.
-
We finished the night off with Micah making dinner for all of his Valentines.
And that lucky guy has a LOT!
The salmon was amazing on this beautifully set table.
We also opened gifts from each other and Seth and Brett’s family.
And of course — B made her special little Valentine’s Day perfect!

There was a whole lot of love flying around this year on our Valentine’s Day.
