Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  We had a wonderful one. :)  Leif was able to ski for the day (and I pretended to be skiing while at work...) ;)  We had a chili dinner together when we got home and watched Abby play contently.  Leif got me a night away in our favorite hotel room that has a fireplaced area that overlooks the hotel's pool.  We'll take Abby with us and have a little mini holiday.  :)  I got Leif tickets to this Friday's UNH Hockey game.  We're planning on taking Abby to the place where it all started- the place where her mom and dad fell in love. :)

Abby is 110% recovered from the stomach bug now and has a VORACIOUS appetite!  She tried broccoli for the first time this week and is just like her mom- she absolutely loves it!  She's also eating whole milk yogurt now and likes it when we mix fruit in with it- the yogurt zing is a bit much by itself.  Abby wore the adorable outfit that her grandma got her for Valentine's Day and even wore a headband for 2.5 seconds- long enough for me to get a picture in other words.  I fear that the days of headbands are over but the good news is- she doesn't mind barrettes.  ;)  Here is a pic of our funny little valentine:


Over the weekend we took Abby to the New England Aquarium.  It was so much fun and Abby absolutely LOVED looking at all of the fish.  We did learn that every family in Massachusetts has the same idea on a Sunday afternoon- the aquarium was packed! :)  We saw some sea lions, penguins, and spent a lot of time in our own little space looking at the big tank in the middle of the aquarium.  Abby liked looking at the brightly colored small fish best but thought that the sea turtle was also quite magical.

Leif and I are planning a trip to Florida next month during Harvard's spring break.  We're planning on staying in a cabin in a campground in St. Augustine.  My parents used to take Mandy and me to St Augustine each February break- it is a really neat and magical little area of Northern Florida that even holds Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth! :)  We have decided to drive down to Florida since plane tickets are so expensive during the month of college spring breaks.  The best news about driving down is that we're planning on stopping in to visit with our niece Lauren at Virginia Tech!

Abby is now saying "woah" all the time.  She is also pointing at people a lot- esp if you point at her first. :)

We hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day and we're sending oodles of love! :)
