Our little Miss Kate is almost here! We have only 16 days left until her due date, and we are so excited! Tanner gives her a little pep talk every day to let her know he's okay if she comes today. :) We have everything ready that was on our to-do list for before she came, so now we're just waiting!

We haven't stopped having fun adventures while we wait for her though. Sometimes those adventures involve working around the house, which turns into Tanner working around the house and me standing there pretending to help...

| Our one and only Valentine decoration. I actually did help with this one! |
We had a lot of fun over Valentine's weekend and made every day a date night (since Tanner was sure Kate was going to come any day). The first night we went to Porky's Pride BBQ for some awesome southern barbecue then went grocery shopping and out to ice cream!

| Unfortunately grocery shopping and ice cream aren't pictured, but dinner was wonderful! |
Saturday Tanner had to work on some school stuff throughout the day, but it was such a pretty day that we couldn't stay inside for too long. We played catch with a baseball, and our neighbor saw us outside and gave us lilacs and daffodils to plant. So we were planting flowers in our yard in February! Crazy, but so much fun! We hope they'll all grow! That night we made little pizzas and s'mores -- Mmmm!
 |
We got cuter pictures, but I think this one most accurately
described how we felt about the s'mores. Delicious!
(Also, I just love Tanner's marshmallow fangs!) |
On the real Valentine's Day, Tanner and I took lots of pictures of pretty birds in our bird feeder, made a delicious candlelight dinner, and then made heart-shaped banana bread truffles!

We had a wonderful weekend, and are enjoying every day! We're so excited for Kate to get here -- then our adventures will be even better! As we read in a quote by President James E. Faust yesterday, "Happiness in marriage and parenthood can exceed a thousand times any other happiness." Marriage has been the best ever, and we're excited to become even happier as parents!
