many fun times lately and not so fun times.....we celebrated Valentine's Day and that was fun. The kids decorated with cards and pics all over the house. I got Cole a little stuffed doggy that he loves and Gracie a princess door knob holder, which she loves. Plus, Robert did some stuff on his own like brought us girls flowers and Cole chocolate.
We took Robert's mom to Idyllwild today for some snow fun. We made a snowman and snow angels and enjoyed the mountains. Robert and I went on a date last night to see the movie, "P.S. I love you." If you want to see a movie that will move you-go see it.
The not so fun times are the daily struggles of a young family--that is normal. I can honestly say that when Robert and I get some time off on our own, it sure seems like those struggles are easier to tackle (i hope). We just need to re-group and we are realizing that more and more--so we are taking advantage when people want to help us and give us some time alone. So I hope to continue this as a tradition.
This year we will celebrate Robert's 40th birthday (OMG) and our 10 year wedding anniversary (ok it still seems like it was yesterday) and I have worked my b--- off to earn Aruba for BOTH of us and I did it and WELL DESERVED. I could not feel happier that I am able to give him a dream like this--he is in such need of a break and deserves it so very much. I feel this will be a wonderful time for us and we look forward to it. And on top of it, we are getting to experience this trip with many great friends of ours as well. Wow-this will be memorable. We cannot wait and the kids are on board too and know that Mama and Dada need this trip. We love our kids--they just make me smile.
