Valentine's Day 2016
This Valentine's Day we are doing something small. We went on a double date with Tristan & Sarah to a restaurant with no menus. It was an excellent experience. I just loved it. We also were able to host my brother Nate and his fiancé, Alex for their Valentine's dinner at our house. McCord and I got all the Chinese food in glassware and made a nice candlelit path with rose pedals and a beautiful table.

Remodel of Talia's new bedroom
January's house project was an expensive one. We are happy to announce Talia's new bedroom is finished!
We redid the ceiling, insulated the whole thing, fixed the heat duct, new paint on baseboards and walls and closet. New fan light. Hung up the decor and moved in all her stuff. It looks perfect for our little girl.

Christmas 2015
This year Talia asked for a bouncy ball and a funnel. Our Christmas morning was amazing:
McCord got a rare Spider Gwen Stacy comic book from his friend Andy Makin. His face was priceless. My favorite picture.
My Christmas was amazing too! I got so many new things for my kitchen. I'm so happy and feel so blessed.
