Happy Valentine's Day!!



We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Jason and I did our usual, fondue at home - though this year we had Jason's sister Rachelle join us. Jake even started celebrating a few days early. :) And Jason, always so thoughtful, brought home beautiful roses & tulips home - my two favorites! We love you all!

Weekend Away!



Jason had a business trip in Orlando this past week and so I decided a few days away in the warm sunshine sounded great... So, I used a free ticket and we went out a day early for a quick get away. Jason and I had a wonderful time, and tried to fit as much in as possible in three short days. The first night we headed to downtown Disney and Pleasure Island, we walked around awhile and had dinner while watching the last quarter of the Super Bowl (what a great game).




In our one full free day we decided to be big "kids" and so we visited three parks in one day...

First we went to Hollywood Studios...


Second we went to Epcot...


And ended the day with the Magic Kingdom.


And of course we did find time to stop and make a call home to check-in with Grandma Sharon who was staying with Jake. :)


Our last night we went to Disney's City Walk, and had dinner & drinks at Pat O'Brions - where it happened to be Fat Tuesday.


A great quick trip for us, but of course we were also glad to get home to see our little guy - who was busy at home re-arranging our cabinets while we were gone! :)

First Swimming Lesson!!


Jake had his first swimming lesson this weekend at our local rec center, and he did great! He wasn't too excited about floating on his back, but loved everything else - from floating on his tummy, going through a hoop, and just splashing around with Dad! We have 3 more lessons to go this month, and I'm sure he'll be a pro after that. :)
