We had a great Valentine's day this year. It was pretty low-key actually. We celebrated on Friday since Vince had to be at the church all day on Saturday. Vince and I went to our church's Celebration of Marriage on Friday night and that was a nice time. Vince got me some pretty tulips and some chocolates (YUM!). Eli made out like a bandit with all his loot!! On Valentine's Day, Eli and I laid low and just hung around the house and napped. Love those days! We had Chinese take out for dinner that night (SO romantic!!) All in all, we had a wonderful time spending time with the ones we love most!! Enjoy the pictures!
ELI'S LOOT!

Elijah's New View
Well, Elijah has taken to climbing up the back of the couch and looking out the window. Guess he doesn't want to miss anything that's going on in the world!!!

Out for a Walk
It turned out to be such a nice day today! It was 60 degrees when I got home from work. After all the snow we've been having, today was GREAT! Eli and I decided to go for a walk before dinner. We had a great time pointing out the trees, the birds, the doggies, and kitties, and going bumpy bump on the uneven sidewalks! Fun times!!
Hey Mom!
I think he looks so grown up in this picture!!

Eli is definitely feeling better!!
Eli got pretty sick here last week. We ended up going to the doctor's after he had been sick for a few days and we couldn't get his fever down. He had a fever of almost 103 when I took him in. The doctor immediately sent us for x-rays to rule out pneumonia. That was a tense 2 hours for me!! Thankfully, he didn't have pneumonia, meaning he didn't have to go to the hospital! Thank you everyone for your prayers for Eli. He is doing much better and although he's not 100% yet, he's MUCH better than he was a week ago! Here's some pictures of my sick little man over the last week.
CHECK OUT HIS RAW NOSE - POOR KIDDO!

Our Sick Little Eli
Well, Eli isn't feeling so hot these days. I think he's got an upper respiratory infection. Running nose (non-stop), cough, sneezing, and now he's starting to lose his cute little voice!! Even with him feeling sick, he'll still give us a smile!
POOR KIDDO - CHECK OUT HIS NOSE!

Look at this Alex!
Eli tried oh so very hard to get Alex to look into his view-finder. Alex didn't think it was as fun as Eli did!!

Dumpster Divers
I guess you can call us dumpter divers! The other night Vince looked out the front window and saw that the neighbors had put this slide in the trash. It was in perfect shape and just the right size for Eli. He went and got it out of their trash, and now Eli has a new slide! Here's some pictures of our free find!

Birthday Festivities
So, today is my 31st birthday! I've had a great day. It all started yesterday actually when I got a massage and a haircut. What a great afternoon that was!!!
Today, I slept in, stayed in my pj's until about 2:00 and then finally got ready for the day. We went to Mitchell's Fish Market on the Levee here in Newport, and I got some yummy lobster, and since we told them it was my birthday I got a free dessert! It was this HUGE ice cream dessert called a Sharkfin Pie. It was SOOOO good. We couldn't eat it all it was so big.
Then we came home and I opened my presents from Vince and Elijah. I got a beautiful Willow Tree figurine of a mother holding a child (just what I wanted). And then Vince got me a new video camera - it's one of those FlipVideo Cameras that just plug right into your computer and downloads the video - SO great!
Vince made me a delicious red velvet cake, of which we actually cut into last night since it looked so yummy - we couldn't wait!! ha!!
Here are some pictures from my day and a video of Eli using my new camera! Thanks for everyone that has wished me well on my day. It's been great!!

New Background
I thought in honor of my birthday month, I'd change my background to cupcakes!! They look yummy! How often do you change your backgrounds? I think since I found "The Cutest Blog On The Block" site, I'll be changing quite often - keep it interesting! Enjoy!
