My Valentines

This is my hard-working Valentine. Justin works so hard to provide for our family. He is a great dad, and a caring husband. For Valentine's day he went to the store and got some yummy crackers, cheese, and chocolates and prepared a little platter for us. We drank some sparkling cider and enjoyed a few quiet moments without the kids. Then we were both so tired that we went to bed at 9:30.

This is my one month old Valentine. I think he's about ready to bust out the smiles.

Isabella is my silliest Valentine. We made some yummy cookies together. We had a lot of fun. I hope you had a happy heart day too!

Sunday Planning

Justin is working a 24 hour (7 a.m. today - 7 a.m. tomorrow) shift today. I admit the thought of getting up and getting two kids ready for 9:00 a.m. church by myself did not sound like fun. Then I thought, we might as well try it. I bathed Izzy last night and took a shower myself also. That meant this morning's check list was as follows:

• Nurse Wes
• Eat Breakfast
• Feed Izzy
• Get myself ready (hair, make-up, find an outfit that doesn't make me look too chubby)
• Get Izzy ready (dress, hair, potty)
• Bath and dress Wes
• Pack diaper bag
• Pack Izzy's bag
• Load up Kids and bags (three, including my YW's bag, I really need a bigger bag)

Izzy got up around 6:30 so that basically meant I had two hours to get everything done. I hoped that we had enough of a buffer in case of any unplanned events.

I would say things went pretty smooth. We were all ready to go and I looked at the clock, 8:10. Holy Cow!! I was so impressed that I had 20 minutes to spare. Hence the cute picts. Enjoy!

What a cute dude! His hair looks kind of red. It doesn't look red in real life (sorry Dad).
