chocolate hearts and chocolate cake

 chocolate valentine hearts showed up on the table this morning. it was a late visit from the valentine fairies, but still very much appreciated.

 i couldn't resist a piece of greg's birthday cake . . greg was on the phone with work all day and morgana came home from a friend's house with a fever, achiness and chills. she was supposed to babysit but had to cancel so now she's sleeping. chanda has a ballet "showcase" with her school tomorrow at the east village Y on 14th street. she was supposed to work on the variation that she's been preparing for it friday evening with her teacher, but her teacher has been out sick all week also. hopefully, she'll be well enough for their sunday morning rehearsal.
