I've been horrible about taking {good} pictures, lately.
I blame the iphone camera and uncooperative children. and, life!
(it gets busy. and I'm leaving my children for ten days in less than two weeks. I'm in panic mode.)
but even though there are only about three iphone pictures from yesterday's vday celebrations (a day which, in the past, I've gone to great lengths to document. like here. and here.), it was a really, really wonderful day.
so until those photos make their way on here, I hope these will do.
