Valentine's Day

Hey. Don't worry. This post will not be some heartfelt refrain to the love of my life. That's already been done, and does not need to be rehashed here in the blogosphere. Besides, Heidi doesn't read this blog! Instead, the big news in the Colaizzo household was that our youngest son James lost not one but TWO FRONT TEETH on the SAME DAY! Yeah. I know. Breaking news, right? The first one was at school. That tooth had been hanging by a thread for weeks. The second one was dislodged during CYO basketball clinic. Ah. The dangers of basketball! Haven't I talked about that?

Earlier in the week, we all had dinner and exchanged Christmas gifts (better late than never?) at the house of my former Poughkeepsie Journal colleague Sean McMann and his new wife. We got to see his new home at the start of his new marriage. And I remembered vaguely what the "First Valentine's Day as a Couple" was like, and how important and special it was. Now that I have been through more than 20 Valentine's Days with Heidi, I don't generally don't wait till Feb. 14 to do something special or treat her special. Especially since it might be possible on this given Feb. 14. After all, it was Thursday, which meant CYO clinic for James and cheer practice for Natalie ... not exactly the makings of a romantic evening. Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day.
