Thursday evening, Jeff, Kayla, Jim, Barb, John, Emma, and I all went out to eat at Old Chicago to celebrate Jeff passing his nursing boards. He is officially an RN :)
We also all got some Columbia Fleece jackets for this spring when we are working in the greenhouses. Emma's fits her pretty well!

Friday was Valentine's Day. Emma had a "party" at daycare, so we brought some treats to daycare with her and dressed her up in some red and pink for the holiday. I had to work kind of late, so John and I didn't plan anything for the day. Rachel arrived on Friday, and we spent the evening just hanging out at home and visiting, and drinking some wine of course.
Saturday was a fun day. We started the day by just playing with Emma at home and letting Emma and Rachel have some bonding time. Then we went to Kohl's to do some shopping, and Rachel had a 30% off coupon, so we did some damage. John bought some shirts for work, I found a dressy top I liked, and then we bought Emma a few odds and ends.
After Kohl's we hit up Applebee's for some lunch and then it was time to go back home for some naps (for everyone). After everyone was well rested, we checked into our hotel (John and I planned for an actual night away). Rachel and Emma came along so that we could all enjoy the pool for a while. It took Emma a little time to warm up to the water and all the activity, but once she got used to it, she had a great time :)

We went out to Grille 26 for a nice supper, and then stopped and bought some wine, and spent a nice evening by ourselves at the hotel. It was so nice to just relax and hangout together without a toddler whining for our attention. It was a much needed evening away, and we had a great time.
Today has been a typical Sunday. I have spent most of the morning/afternoon cleaning and doing laundry and just getting things in order for the week to come. We also did some grocery shopping and now are thinking about what we are going to put together for supper.
Emma had a rough night last night with coughing and such, so she is taking a nap right now, hopefully it won't mess up her sleep schedule too bad for tonight.
I'm going to leave you with a little bit of a photo dump at the end here. I hijacked John's phone and sent some of his photos to my phone, since I never get those photos otherwise. So, here are some cute photos to leave you with...
Actually, I think all these pictures in this blog are from John's phone. Oops... :)
