Letter from the Presidents
Hello Moms and Dad!
Can you believe it; the first month of this year has come and is now gone! Where did it go? We feel like we blinked and in came February. These winter months usually keep families inside most of the time, but this weather has been doing some pretty weird stuff this winter. We found it a bit odd to have these beautiful 60-degree days in the middle of winter. Although, it was nice to take the kids to the park to release some energy after being cooped up from the really cold 20-degree days. The talk in our houses, about the weather, is snow. Our kids want it to snow so badly and we can only hope we get more than a few flakes at some point this winter to fulfill their snowy dreams.
February isn’t all about the snow though, it is the month of love. It’s the month you and your sweetie pie focus on you as a couple, not necessarily as a mom and dad. Sure, we give our children little boxes of chocolates on Valentine’s Day to show them we love them and they are our little valentines but, we show them this love every day. We could even say we give our spouses this love everyday too, but do we really? The quick kiss on their way to work or the quick text saying “I love you” seems like it does the job but it eventually just becomes routine. The relationship between husband and wife is important and it is what drives the family. Our children learn how to love by watching us love each other.
This February, don’t just celebrate love on the 14th, celebrate love the whole month. Leave notes in the car or on the bathroom mirror every day. Send a special text or email everyday telling them one thing you love about them. Have a few romantic dinners at home after the kids go to bed instead of just a date night on Valentine’s Day, play a board game together, or stay up talking after lights out instead of falling right to sleep. Whatever your heart’s content, however you can find the time, let your special someone know that you love them this whole month.
Happy Valentine’s Day from your Presidents,
Rissa and Helen
