Valentine's Day

Okay, it wasn't actually Valentine's Day when we went out on a date; it was actually Friday, the 13th, but at least it was a date! Chad and I left all 4 kids (a feat in and of itself) and went out alone! We had dinner at Applebee's in Teays Valley and then went to Charleston to the Symphony Pops performance of Broadway Rocks! It was very enjoyable. When we arrived back, the kids were all asleep - even better! It's so rejuvenating to our marriage to have some time away together. I hope my kids find security in knowing that their mom and dad love each other, but I have a feeling they are for more interested in the fact that Gramma took them to McDonald's for dinner!!

Quoting Scripture

Aaron woke up early Friday morning and had already read a chapter of his most recent Junie B. Jones book and some Bible verses by the time I rolled out of bed at 6:45am. He came in our bedroom declaring that he was trying to memorize a few verses. Apparently he had randomly opened his Bible and picked out a verse because he proceeded to quote (with reference):

Proverbs 21:9
Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a nagging wife.

I couldn't help but laugh!

Together

So I went upstairs to check on the kids tonight, and this is what I found:


All 3 of the mobile ones had crawled in bed and were sleeping peacefully together.
