Love Stories

Story 1: Off and on for a couple of years Sam has been smitten with Katherine. She used to be in his day care class but kindergarten tore them apart and now they only occasionally see each other at church. The other day though they both were at day care while I picked up Abby and Katherine's mom picked up Katherine's sister, Libby.

As girls are inclined to do, Katherine sometimes completely ignores Sam, despite the ear-to-ear grin he flashes whenever she's around. This time, however, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him, twice.

"Sam, how about that? You got a kiss from Katherine!"

"Two kisses," he said. "It made my tummy all wiggly."

Story 2: Jake came bounding down the steps on Valentine's Day morning.

"Happy Valentine's Day sweet cheeks," I told him.

"Happy Valentine's Day Mommy. Thank you for the love."
