Munchkinland & Valentine's Day


Sugarplums and Sonic
Here are a few more pictures from our weekend with Rowan and Katie. The first night found Katie awake and needing a diaper change at 4 a.m. I took her back to bed with us and this photo was taken a little after 8. She slept until 9!











Rowan was up bright and early and wanting to play a few rounds of "Sonic" on the Wii before breakfast. He loves his video games but is pretty good about keeping to his time limits. He has many interests and is a trooper about turning the tv off when asked.


Little Miss Eleven Months
Alyssa and I took Katie to a photography studio to have her official baby pictures taken. I snapped this while we were waiting for the prints to be made. Her pics turned out great! And we managed to get some shopping in while we were at the mall.

Rain, rain, come today...



















You've never seen anyone happier to see rain on a Monday morning than Har was yesterday. It's all because he got a new waterproof bike jacket from "the kids" along with new matching riding gloves. They are a bright neon color and have reflective trims. I love the fact that he is even more visible as he rides in traffic. He was like a kid at Christmas waiting to test out his new gear. He got a taste of rain on his morning ride but it was really coming down last night when he headed home. His inside fleece was bone dry and he was a grinnin' from ear to ear.
He is a happy bike commuter!


Happy Birth-entine Day, Courtney!
It was Courtney's 19th birthday yesterday. As tradition dictates, we took our birthday girl out for breakfast. As tradition further dictates, her husband was invited as well. Courtney chose the Cadillac Cafe this year.



















She received and responded to a few text messages as we were deciding what to order.
Their breakfast specials for the day were very very good!
Courtney and Charlie's beverages were even pretty. I wish I had taken photos of the food.
You'll have to take my word for it... super lovely and super yummy!

Munchkins, lollipops and Chipmunks















Jazz hands and posing in Valentine finery this morning when Aunty Coco came over.
Followed by opening a special Valentine package from the Granny and Pa. Chipmunks all around!

Two members of the Lollipop Guild with their "Chipettes" Brittany and Janette.
Lots of make believe Valentine's dates happening between all these chipmunk characters. Lots of sugar consumed as well. But that's one thing that Valentine's Day is all about.

The other thing Valentine's Day is about?
Sweethearts!
