one last v-day post.

Piper can't have all the fun.

Tyler surprised me when he came home from work on V-day with flowers, an orchid, cheesecake, and Eric showing up to couch sit while Piper slept like a baby.





He took me (surprise!) to my FAVORITE restaraunt in the whole world: Ceviche

After we got home we decided to take pics of ourselves looking attractive for once (well ME looking attractive for once. He always does. I am lucky if I get showered and dressed let alone look cute). We wanted to take cool Facebook style photos. Do you think we succeeded?

this one is dedicated to all the quakers who try to inconspicuously stick their lips out to possibly make them appear more naturally fuller. It doesn't work. Does it?

Anyway- Tyler is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. He is such a light and a blessing. He is so understanding and compassionate, caring and gentle. He is a lover. He makes Valentines Day an everyday occurrence. He can ALWAYS make me smile (which is terrible when I am mad at him and want to scowl). He is an absoultely amazing father, friend, and fiance. I really should start planning that wedding... I guess I am not good at managing my tasks. That doesnt change that I am absolutely honored to be his wife.

True love is real and attainable.

Piper pees on v-day.

I will admit it. I have been putting this off. I got behind thanks to a long list of things. Most notably, Pipers seemingly sudden cesation of napping which caused me to go a little bit crazy and then spend about a month remedying the problem. We are mostly better now except for teething. But hopefully she will be sporting a brand new pair of pearly whites soon. I told myself I would update all the past blogs (thankgiving, xmas and so on) but everyday that goes by more and more things pile up. So why not start today... on Pipers first valentines day. I will get around to the rest if I can. If not, thats ok too.

So happy v-day from Piper. We had to change out of her "My first v-day outfit because she peed all over it."

I apologize the photos are blurry but she no longer sits still.





Here you can see her sporting her gorgeous amber/amethyst teething necklace that we got from Etsy.







By the way, Piper is 3 days shy of being 6 months old and moments away from crawling and saying her first word (I swear she has said "baby" 3 times already....) WOW!

ode to the one.
