We hope you're all having a fabulous Valentines Day. We are celebrating in a hotel back in VA! Richard had a conference down here this week, and when the power was out in MD Sunday, we decided to go with him. I'm glad we did - it's been a fun week. I was able to get into my OB back in VA for one last visit (about an hour from where we are staying), and the kids got to hear the heartbeat of our new little one. They thought that was very cool. We were able to stop by and visit some friends last night, too, which was great. The kids have been swimming at the hotel and Ashkii and I have been scouring the internet for real estate. I have strange dreams when I am pregnant, and lately they have to do with houses we see on the internet. I can't get away from it!
We seem to have cured our kids of ever wanting to eat out again. Over the past month or so with all the back and forth (my dad calls us nomads), we have had to eat out quite a bit. Now when we ask the kids what they want for dinner, they sort of moan and say, "whatever." It will be nice to get into a more permanent situation. But the cottage is fun, and it makes me want to buy waterfront property someday. I can dream, right?
This is our 11th Valentines Day together! One of our traditions has been making yummy heart-shaped sugar cookies. Ashkii likes to decorate them. I'll never forget when we were newly married, my sister Camille came over and we three decorated cookies together. She really got a kick out of Ashkii and his double-decker cookie creations. We made cookies a month early this year, before all the moving chaos. It was fun - the kids had a BLAST decorating their cookies and eating way too much. Hope you all enjoy this fun, love-filled, sugar-sprinkled day:)
