Happy early Valentine's Day!

Eric and I seem to have an Army mandated tradition, we are never together on Valentine's Day. Out of the 9 we've shared, only 2 have been in person. He was either deployed, TDY at a school, or for the past couple years he's been in the swamps with the Ranger students.

This year we were excited that he had the day off...until 4 days ago, and now he will be at work all day. So, we cashed in a $25 gift certificate to a local steak house and had an early dinner on Friday to celebrate. And...he loves his gift, can't you tell?Also, it snowed here in Florida! Can you believe it? It started as sleet in the early afternoon, then we had huge flakes for about an hour...then it stopped and all melted away before 6pm. It was funny driving around because people were standing on their porches in flip flops (or bare foot) and tank tops holding a video camera...the last time it snowed here was over 20 years ago. I did find out Koa is NOT a fan of snow, as shown in the picture below. He ran outside, then ran even faster back through the doggy door. But, if you look closely, you can see the snowflake on his back :o)
Happy Valentine's Day everyone, and I'll probably do another post after my appointment with the Perinatalogist on Tuesday...because bedrest is really boring and I don't have much else to talk about.

You didn't say what he got you! :) I am glad he liked his gift! Did he put it on his truck? The snow was a lot of fun! :) I wish it would have snowed longer so Nathan could have had fun with it too.

How funny is it that you've seen more snow than I have this year?! What's up with that??

Bridget, I got the iHome from Eric. I had mentioned that I wanted one since I can't just blast my music on my computer anymore, and it will be good to have in the babies' room

Oh very nice Mary! :)

You guys are soooo sweet. Tell Koa Grandma isn't a fan of snow, cold, or rain either.

We got a lot more snow here, but within 24 hours it was all gone. A day of winter works for me!!! Now, if it will just warm up already...
