1.) My sweetie, Nate, and I finally had a weekend together where he didn't have to work. Friday night was my night. For Valentines Day I recreated some "firsts". Our first date we had sushi. So I got all of the fixin's for us to make sushi at home...that's right...it was so fun. We made crunchy shrimp rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and crab and avocado rolls...and they were DELICIOUS! We got to rollin' after the boys went to sleep. Then we ate some hot fudge cake. He made that for me our first Valentines together. Then we watched Friday Night Lights (the TV show) that has no significance other that we love that show. Check out all the sushi and that wasn't even all of it!
The next night was his night. First he bought me roses...good boy. Second he bought me the prettiest ruby earrings (rubies are the boys birthstone)! WHOA! That is quite the step up from the guy who last year as we were in Kroger handed me $10 and said, "Sweetie, why don't you go get yourself some flowers:)" And he was serious and I refused! Later that night we went on an adventure date to go eat some yummy Greek food at Yia Yia Mary's. It was so delicious! We lived on the edge by trying a lot of stuff we don't normally get...but we sure did get my favorite...HUMMUS! Yum! We even went without the boys and PAID a baby sitter...we are big time.
2.) The boys are really starting to be aware of each other. They adore one another. There have been a lot of moments this past week where one cries and the only thing that soothes him is seeing his little buddy. Makes your heart melt. Well today they were getting RSV shots and Blake went first. As soon as he started crying Owen looked over at him...stuck that bottom lip out and the tears came rollin'! So sad...but so sweet. Buddies for Life...you may not be able to tell, but Owen has his arm around Blake.
3.) My long time bestie...Erin had her sweet baby girl, Katelyn Grace last Monday. We got to meet her Tuesday and she is ADORABLE! And Erin is a super mommy already. The boys were excited because now they each can have a girl friend. One can have Payton Heston (Holly and Clee's daughter) and one gets Katelyn.
4.) We got to meet a great couple whose babies also have TTTS last night. They are in town for the surgery which happened yesterday morning. We were able to visit them last night in their hospital and bring them dinner, visit and pray with them. And Yeah God - their babies made it through the first crucial 24 hours.
See...sweetness all around.
