Daddy's Lil' Valentine

Valentine's is really about celebrating love- the love we have for one another, for our spouses, our children, family, friends, and for the Lord.  This year we had so much to celebrate. . . last year this time I was VERY pregnant and ready for baby girl to come!  This year she is the joy of my life and I love her more than I ever thought I could love!  I also realize again and again that my love for my husband just continues to grow and grow. 

Dan outdid himself with several small meaningful surprises including: breakfast of pink pancakes and chocolate milk, a dozen red roses, brownies, a couple of other small things, special yogurt melts for Amelia, and when I thought the surprises were over he gave me a pearl necklace!  We went out to lunch on Valentine's to one of our favorite Japanese places (hoping to not have to deal with the crowds Valentines night) and this past weekend we tried out the Station House at the Chattanooga Choo Choo for our "Valentine Dinner".  This restaurant is famous for it's singing servers- it was awesome!

Notice no more goatee :(  Dan usually keeps it from November through Valentines day even though I beg to keep it longer.

Funny picture- sorry it's kinda hard to see.
