Dear Marilyn, It's valentines day today- a day when we think about the ones we love. Since you and Janet had your first birthday the day before, Mom, Susan, and I made you each a heart-shaped cake frosted with whipped cream. You sat in your highchairs with the cakes on the trays, looking at them with unbelieving ,wide-open eyes. Then you dug in with both hands, enjoying the unimpeded new experience. The Winterbergs from next door had been invited to witness this spectacle with us. We did share in your joy by having a bite or two. This was a birthday to remember! (Added note: you both had chicken pox.)
