I woke up this morning to the delicious smell of breakfast cooking. Your father decided to surprise me with breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon, and chocolate covered strawberries) for Valentine’s day! He also gave me a very sweet card. I truly am the luckiest woman alive! I gave him a card and some new cologne – Kenneth Cole’s RSVP. After breakfast we went and got haircuts then went to look at baby furniture. We still haven’t decided on your bedroom furniture though we have it narrowed down to a few choices.

After furniture shopping, I went to the mall while your dad took a nap. The minute I got home we went right to it….painting your room. We’d already chosen the color – it’s called Moonlit Yellow – and fortunately, Brad had taped off the room last week so we were pretty much ready to go. However, we’d both forgotten how much we hate to paint. If we can help it, I think this might be the last room we ever paint! Though we have quite a few friends who are true do-it-yourselfers, your father and I just can’t seem to derive much pleasure from most DIY projects. Just one of the things we have in common!
