valentine's day


we aren't really the romantic types. 
however, i do love me some valentine's day fun. 
christian came up with the best valentine day gift ever:
a bike ride!
the weather was beautiful, so we loaded the girls up in the
bike trailer and took a fun ride.  
hope didn't love it, but the rest of us had fun. 
don't worry, we made it up to her with cookies and milkshakes. 
we were going to take the girls to the bluebird restaurant and get
ice cream sundaes at the bar.  we thought they would think that was fun. 
however, they were both seeming to feel a bit under the weather.
so, we did the next best thing:
pizza!
we picked up a heart shaped pizza at papa murphy's, 
got some ice cream (to make shakes) and sugar cookies at macey's, 
and invited nana and papa over for a valentine's day feast. 
after all the food and fun was over, we put the girls to bed and christian 
and i topped the evening off by watching and episode of 
our favorite british murder mystery show, foyle's war.  
i don't think it gets any better. 




hope was ecstatic about the card grandpa and grandma sent. 
 



that looks like a fairly content face, right?



our little cookie monster loved making a mess of her cookie.

looking ahead

 
is it ever too early to start thinking about possible professions?
hope has been contemplating a few.



budding artist, or food critic?


milk woman or heavy weight lifter?
 


yoga instructor or equestrian? 


ballerina or costume designer?



it looks like she may choose to be a professional cyclist though.
that smile seems to say it all. 
whatever hope decides to do, we know she will excel!
