Normally I send out a Valentine's card to all our friends and family.
We usually anticipate eating all kinds of goodies and sweets, dressing the kids in red, taking a picture, making a great romantic meal, exchanging love notes, the whole deal.
But this year was different...mostly because our friend passed away the day before and I think Rob and I both were feeling rather melancholy.
Neither of us had much expectation for the day.
And I can honestly say I didn't care much if he got me anything.
And he didn't.
And I didn't get him one thing either.
And it was so fine with both of us.
It was just different this year. And we still had a great day!
We did have a sitter lined up for that morning, so we left the kids behind and shared a nice lunch together.
And that always ends up in mexican food.
Always.We are ridiculous.
But even weirder was we ate mexican food at the Cheesecake Factory.
Who knew?
It was awesome. Avocado. Spring. Rolls.
Yum.And then we shared the chicken tacos.
We tried to get my favorite cupcakes on the way home at the the most fabulous bakery
Crave.But the line was way out the door.
Apparently everyone else in the city was thinking the same thing on V-day.
So we opted for Starbucks.....me a London Fog tea, Rob a Cafe Mocha with 1/2 the chocolate.
And the rest of the day was spent cuddling, napping and sharing an Italian dinner with the kids.
Ezra was the entertainment. As always:)
Then I took the most adorable picture of our kids in their red shirts so we could remember the day.
What? You don't see it?
Hmmm....
I still do NOT have a camera. (my old one is broken)
So, use your imagination and envision 3 cute and crazy kids in red shirts:)
Hope you and yours had a lovely weekend and that you took great pictures!
P.S.
Pray for Rob these next two days as he travels to NC to lead worship in a special service for Kristi's family and for the celebration of life service. He is heavy hearted and I'm praying he will do a good job and be able to be strong for Chuck.
