Old Man Winter has gone away...for now

We went to the park the other day. The weather has been so nice lately. I am ready for spring! This was Alli's first trip to the park. She enjoyed it. She was looking at everything-the trees, water, fountain, ducks. She saw ducks for the first time. I love thinking about the world as she sees it. Everything she sees is new and exciting and a learning opportunity. We look forward to many more days spent at the park.These ducks walked with us for a long time. Luke named them Jack and Mack. We said they were our bodyguards. :) I am a biased mother but my goodness I think she is pretty.We had a little six months old birthday party for her. She is growing up so quickly. Look out dad, she's already getting kisses!

Husband Tag...

I was tagged by Shalise so here I go.
Just a little info about the man I love!

-Where we met: We met on a blind date after Shauna gave Dave my number. So we first met at the front porch of my parents house.
-How long we dated before we were married: We dated for 8 months before we were married.
-How long have we been married: 3 years, 2 months, 7 days. Don’t worry, I honestly did not know that off the top of my head.
-What's my favorite feature about him: His eyes. They are gorgeous blue and he has the best eyebrows. His eyebrows are great. I tell him I hope Allison gets his eyebrows. I have struggled with my brows for a long time. Hence, I notice these things. ;)
-What's my favorite quality about him: I can’t pick just one. He is loyal, loving, funny, charming, and he "gets" me. I am one lucky girl!
-What's his nickname for me: Antelope and mama. Thinking about it...I may have to encourage some new nicknames for me. Maybe sweetheart or honey would be nice.

-His favorite food: I don't know. He has a lot. Some are chicken divan, terriyaki steak, blueberry yogurt, peanut butter cookies.
-His favorite sport: ALL!
-Who said the L word first: Well mostly Dave did. But once Before we had "said" it, I slipped and instead of saying like you I said love but I just brushed it off and continued to talk as if I hadn't said it. He didn't hear it so it didn't happen. Then later on he said it for real.
-First kiss when and where: It was in my basement the morning I left for London. It had been after a week of hanging out everyday and I wanted to kiss him but at the same time I didn't because I was leaving and who knew if anything would come of this. But finally we kissed. The rest is history.... ahhhh, how romantic.
-Favorite couple thing to do: Just spending time together, cooking, walking, hot tubbing.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

I am at my parents house so I don't have my regular pictures to post for Christmas, New Year, Blessing... you know all the ones I have yet to post :) But I just wanted to give a quick update. The reason it has been extra long is because I have become addicted to Facebook. I really admire all of you who regularly maintain both. Good for you. I am working on finding a balance. I love snow and rain but I am getting anxious for spring to come. Now an Allison update: she is the best baby ever. She is 5 1/2 months, she has her two bottom teeth, she eats rice cereal and rice cereal mixed with veggies. So far she likes peas, squash, and carrots, but she did not like green beans. We tried green beans first so now that she's tried the others we will give them another try. We will see if she likes it now. We are head over heels in love with her. She gives the best smiles. Ok, that is enough. Hope you all are well.
