A Few Things

Brayden worked long and hard addressing his Valentine Cards. When I went to pack them up I noticed that he had selectively chosen certain friends to whom the term "best friend" should be added to their card. It's pretty funny to me... but hopefully no one gets their feelings hurt :)Unfortunately, the day of the Valentine Exchange turned out to be a snow day, so the new party is rescheduled for today. This year Valentines goes on and on!

This is my new Lucky Bamboo.On Valentines Day Kevin and I had a fabulously fun date complete with dinner, a gift exchange, a movie, hot chocolate drinking at Borders , and even a trip to Walmart (not just any Walmart though- just the fanciest Walmart in town). It was a great date!
And the story behind the lucky bamboo- we went to Westroads mall (you know the mall where last year there was that big shooting- yep we braved it) and gave each other a 10 dollar, 30 minute limit to find each other a Valentine gift. It was so much fun. I got Kevin some fishing tackle that had the "as seen on tv" label- so I knew it must be good :) and he got me a lovely lucky bamboo. And now on to this cutie patootie (I love her expression in that picture)... Monday night Brielle reached the "first asthma attack" milestone. Yes, it looks like she may be following in Brayden's footsteps. We can still hold out hope that this is just a symptom of a virus, the doctor said- but she also adviced we stop renting and just buy the darn nebulizer (dang). Don't worry about her though- when we give her the regular breathing treatments, she does really well and slept all night last night- yeah! Oh and the poor thing also has an ear infection- but yet look at that smile- what a trooper!
Well thats all for now. Hope you all are healthier than us and having a great week!
