Valentines....

Valentines weekend was super lovely.... it started with a double date for me and Brian with our friends Eric and Danielle- such a rare treat!!! - I do wonder though if a double date on Valentines weekend means that we are now an old married couple..... well, it was super fun and we are so thankful for the ability to get out with friends and for kind friends who will watch our children.

Thank you too to everyone for all the Valentine cards and treats for the kids! It is always super special for them to get surprises in the mail from loved ones!

Brian got me an orchid for my orchid collection... beautiful!

"art food" as Brian calls it....

since we had a baby sitter we couldn't go home right away! so we went out for drinks...

Brian made Eli a special treat at the coffee shop... hummm wonder what it is?

Otto with his first soft carmel chocolate candy... it ended up everywhere but in his mouth. I spared you and me that picture.

We went out shopping on Valentines day and the kids fell asleep in the car.... had to capture these cute resting sweeties...
