Jack channels his inner Lloyd Dobler for Valentine's Day...

So, it seems that I have a little Romeo on my hands (or Prince Charming, as he likes to call himself.) Jack has already decided that when he grows up he is going to marry the sweet & lovely Emmy. He already calls her his "wife" and will tell any and everyone about the future he has planned out for the two of them!

Phillip and I decided that there would be no better time to celebrate their "love" than Valentine's Day. Jack picked out a crown & scepter to give his Princess and then we helped him express his adoration in a way that was sure to win Emmy's heart. (It worked for Lloyd Dobler back in '89, why not for Jack Duncan in '09? And I'm sorry Diane Court, but Jack is WAAAAAAY cuter than Lloyd!)

Lacking a boom box, we loaded up the ipod with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes", stuck it in the dock and told Jack what to do. He was so enthusiastic about it and boldly stood on Emmy's front steps waiting for her to come outside. I don't remember much after this because I was laughing so hard. Phillip, Scott, Heather and I were CRYING we were so hysterical. Emmy didn't know quite what to make of her young suitor, but I think she was impressed!

Emmy gifted Jack with a dinosaur card and some candy - the perfect present!

It was a really sweet day with LOTS of great photo ops for two momma's already planning that wedding slideshow...
