Happy Valentine's Day

What a wonderful day!

I took a half day off of work so we could have a date while Carley was still in child care. Cody and I went to Harrigan's (where we got engaged) and had a delicious meal. It is our third Valentine's in a row to go there. We just LOVE it. I think it is our tradition. The rest of the afternoon, we just spent time together going to exotic places like Home Depot.

Carley (who is walking and running now) had her first Valentine's Day party. It was so cute. Granny had the kids make Valentines for their parents. Hers is so precious. She is such a hoot. Carley is a REALLY good eater, almost too good. For lunch Granny brought the kids McDonalds. Carley ate a Happy Meal size fries, 3/4 of her hamburger, 1 1/2 chicken nuggets, and a mini chocolate cupcake. Seriously, she is 13 months old and eating like a champ. :) Watch out!

I hope you had a wonderful day too!

Happy Valentines DAY! Britten eats a lot too.....don't worry. As soon as we get to her babysitters, she says "bite" to the babysitter. She does it on purpose.....It makes me look like I don't feed her! I am glad to hear that yall are doing good!!

What is the world!? Where are y'all finding these templates? I need some help! We need a blogger tutorial date. I'm very disappointed in my lack of resourcefulness! Did you have the black magic cake at Harrigan's? That's heaven on a plate!

First, I'm glad you went on a date. Fun! Second, I love to eat too, so Carley is a girl after my own heart. And, third, I love your new template, but now I feel very pressured to change mine. I'm just not that talented. I know I would erase the entire thing. Good job!

I was just thinking about Harrigans the other day. We had several Valentines dinners there when we were in Lubbock.
Your new layout is too cute!

I need to see Carley running! I bet it is adorable! She is getting so big.

I am glad to see that you jumped on the "change the background" wagon! I love the change!

I LOVE your background!! How do all of you do this? Since I can come to a tutorial ... you'll have to have an online tutorial. Thanks!

Glad you had a fun date. Its been YEARS since i've been to Harrigans ... now I'm craving it. :)

Ella (the little baby I nanny) is a really good eater, too. People ask me a lot if she and her brother are twins (they are 16 months apart.) :) I think its pretty darn cute.

I love the picture of her leaning back on the couch. Such a little model!!

I wish Hudson had Carley's eating habbits. I likes MOST food...but NO veggies. Spits them right out.

What a sweet mommy to take the day off to be with your lil valentine! Glad you had a special day!

CarKey is getting SOOO big! I can't wait to see her run :) Glad that you had a fun Valentine's... will you help me change my blog-- Oh Technological Master???

Carley looks so big! Jackson is usually a good eater, but I find that his eating habits come and go in phases. Sometimes, he just doesn't want to eat at all! I am glad to hear the Carley is starting off early with McDonalds! Although Jackson has never had McDonalds, he loves chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A!

Glad you guys had a fun Valentine's date!
