The Elliott's Adventures: February 2010

So, we just celebrated our 9th Valentine's Day together (11th, if you count the dating years). And things have definitely changed in those 11 years. I remember cooking Brad a surprise dinner for one of our Valentine's and sitting together and talking for hours. And I remember that for our first Valentine's Day as a married couple Brad surprised me with dinner on the beach (granted it was way too windy to even sit on the beach, so we ended up eating out of the back of the car...but it's the thought that counts).

So, what did we do this year for Valentine's day? We ate dinner at Moe's with Emma, Liam and my Dad. It didn't look quite the same as years past, but I was just as happy. I can't imagine a better way to spend the day than with the people I love the most in the world.

And just for you reading who are thinking "But, Angie, you need to at least do something with your husband every now and then", we are planning a date night soon. Which, hopefully, means it'll happen before my birthday in March:)

Wishes

So, today we're at the mall and Emma and Liam are throwing pennies into the fountain.

I tried my best to explain to Emma what a "wish" is, and that you make a wish before you throw in the penny.

Emma's 1st wish: "I wish that I had a Barbie doll".

(Pretty sure this wish has already come true. She has at least 5)

Emma's 2nd wish: "I wish I had a really really sweet little brother"

(I thought this wish had already come true, as well. She assured me that is had not.)

Oldies, but goodies

Don't you just love old pictures? I have always loved pictures. I love taking them, and I love looking at them. In high school I was the annoying friend that was always taking pictures...and that hasn't changed. They bring back so many memories...and remind me of how blessed my life has been. I recently pulled out some old pictures. These are some of my favorites...
