My 2 Valentines

I was lucky to have two valentines this year - a mini and a full-size. :) I sure love these guys a lot. My favorite part of the day is when Jeremy comes home from work and we have dinner and then he and Eli play on the floor together while I clean up. Jeremy always asks if I want him to help me and I always say "you ARE helping me!" I love how excited Eli gets when Jeremy walks in the door and how happy he is when his daddy's home. :)

We didn't do anything too exciting for Valentine's Day this year. We got to go on a nice date last weekend when Heidi babysat for us, so that kind of counted as our Valentine's celebration (on our date, we went to Target and bought a 20 qt. stock pot, so that was our gift). :) We just had the usual church duties and then we watched some of the Olympics that night. Monday was GREAT though because Jeremy had the day off! Yea for holidays! He didn't get the Monday holiday in January, but he did get this one, so that was really nice. We had a fun Greek dinner last night and enjoyed being home together.

We've had a lot of fun watching Eli change before our eyes lately. He's getting much more interactive. He's always loved playing with phones, but now if I hand him the phone he'll hold it up to my ear for me. So cute! And he's started trying to feed me cheerios when he feeds himself. Another exciting thing happened today when I went to get him up from his nap. I walked in the door and saw him standing up in his bed! Yikes! He had pulled himself up and was holding on to the edge. That was a first. Pretty crazy. He also can kind of crawl backwards now. Silly kid. He can get onto his hands and knees from his tummy and then he goes backward to get onto his bum. He's pretty adorable.

Here's a picture of him yesterday. This is what happens when I'm busy baking and don't bother to stop him from getting into everything:Haha. Look at that innocent face. :)

And here are some more random pictures. I love these guys!

I sure miss you guys. Thanks for the pictures. It's good to at least see pictures if we can't see y'all (I learned that one in KY) in person. Just the other night (after a kind of lame Valentine's dance), I looked at Rachel on our way home and said, "I wish Sarah and Jeremy could come over"... Anyway, we miss you guys and are looking forward to seeing you this summer. (wow, for someone who doesn't comment very often, that was a pretty long comment)

I love those pictures!!! I just want to snuggle with Eli--what a cutie!

What cuties! I love how Eli's hair is getting longer and is laying down a little (although it was super cute when it stood up). You are just starting into the 'never have a clean house again' stage. :)

Cute pictures of Eli and Jeremy! I love the innocent face one. You have such a sweet family and wonderful life. Enjoy it because they grow up way to fast.

Can I like your valentines too? Cause I do! I can't wait to see Eli again, he sure is cute. I love the "mess" he made.
