Valentine's Day...

Highlights of the day:

• pink heart-shaped pancake & strawberry breakfast with Daddy
• heart-shaped balloon and box of chocolates for Savvy
• festive story-hour at the library
• quick at home photo shoot & a holiday card for friends and family
• books and chocolates from the Tanner family

Overall it was a sweet and simple day, but the best part was Savannah's reaction to it all. She came down the stairs after her bedtime routine and asked for me to hold her. She wasn't sad or fussy in the least and just gave me a big hug all the way up the stairs. After we sat in her rocking chair she said "Thank you way much for my happy Valentine's Day!" Then she asked for just one song and to go back in bed. She is the sweetest thing to just want to have cuddles to thank me one more time. Love my little Valentine.

Valentine...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Savvy's perspective...

Savvy has taught herself how to use our little point-and-shoot camera. It was a blast to watch her try to arrange things and stand at different angles to get shots without being prompted in the least. We had a great laugh as we looked through the photos and were able to see the world from her perspective a bit more. The world is very different through the eyes of a two-year-old!

Makeover...

Feb 4th

I love being pregnant for many reasons, mostly the miracle of it all, but this week I was really struggling with not feeling like I look my best. Just a funk I'm sure, but pregnancy can emphasize it all. Skyler spoiled me and brought me rocky road ice cream (still hooked) and flowers. It means so much to me that he feeds my silly cravings--he even adds chocolate chips to it for me--and then spoils me more. That same weekend Skyler was very kind and sent me to the salon. I was able to get my hair done (now it is back to a brown, but with auburn hue), eyebrows waxed, and was given a fun make-up lesson. I even came home with new make-up treasures. I now feel much better and have loved having the little pick-me-up.
