Our Day of Love...

Well this weekend started with a BANG! Friday we had a much awaited bundle join the family out in Chicago!

Welcome Baby -Z- and congrats to -K-, -S- and -R-...isn't he just so cute? Can't wait to snuggle and hold this little one, may you all enjoy the wonders of a little boy and all he has in store!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

With Love in our hearts, we set out to have a very Happy Valentine's Day! We started our day, bringing the boys out to find their Valentine's goodies and had a sweet breakfast with the boys.


We had Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Muffins, and -A- even got to indulge a bit with his two new teeth, the only ones so far, and not quite picture worthy, but none the less they get the job done when it comes to finger foods!!!


Then we got the boys all dressed up in the Valentine's Day outfits, nope, no Hearts here, but they most definitely are "Naturally Irresistable"!!

We loaded them up in my parent's car and sent them to spend the day with Grammy and Grandpa, -A-'s maiden voyage!!


-A- and -N- had a blast spending the day with them!!!

SO MUCH LOVE!!!

Once the kiddos were all set, we started out on our adventure of Love and TORTURE, HA! We decided to make-over the front of our house this Valentine's Day, what says "I Love you" better than Manual Labor???

This is our house before we started... and this is after...

Our Front Entry, all clean and defined!

No more out of control bushes on the front of the house and the crocuses already in full bloom for a touch of color.

Our Garage sporting a new coat of darker paint and let's not forget the amazing artwork on the driveway done by Mr. -N- and note the hand prints all along the side of my car...

What an awesome wall, no more wire fence or stone paver/white rock walkway and NO more walking under trees to cut the grass, woohoo!

Only couples with this kind of LOVE can enjoy a project like this on the most romantic DAY of the YEAR, hehehe!

Now we just wait for Spring to arrive, the weeds to die, the grass to grow, everything else to be in full bloom and a good rain to wash away some amazing sidewalk art...after all the painting, staining and landscaping we are exhausted, so is now a good time for a NAP? The next item on our agenda is the backyard, that sounds like a good project to tackle on our anniversary weekend, HA!...hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day, we may have not done anything traditional but we still had fun, even if it was spent working on our house!
