Valentine's Day

    Yesterday was such a wonderful day! It was full of love, chocolate, and great news from the doctor about Olivia. Aaron's morning started at 2 when he had to wake up for a 12 mile ruck {poor guy}. The kids and I slept in until around 7:30. I surprised Connor with a special breakfast, a basket of Valentine gifts, and balloons. 

 Love my little Valentine's.

 Connor's basket. His favorite part was the "fart pad" aka whoopee cushion.

 Olivia's basket.

 Cupid arrow pancake kabobs. I got the idea from here. 

    After eating breakfast and painting, we made Aaron a special treat: chocolate dipped strawberry wafers. We made coupons for him the morning before to save time, and I'm so glad we did because we were rushing yesterday morning!

     Once we were finished with those, I took Connor to school, where he had a Valentine's party. He was so excited to hand out his Valentine's. I picked him up early because Olivia had a doctors appointment with the pediatrician to check her head. I haven't done a blog about it, but to give a little background, her head size had dropped down to less than 1% and her fontanel was really small. So they had to do a head ultrasound a couple weekends ago to check and see how much space she had and to make sure there was room for her brain to grow. At her last appointment her head size was back up to 7% and the ultrasound showed a partial closure of her anterior fontanel, with room for her brain from what they could see. The pediatrician and nurse measured her head yesterday and she was up to the 8% and her fontanel was palpable. They were happy that she is meeting all her milestones and is very social from what they could see. The doctor wasn't concerned at all about her and said she is healthy and doing great! It was such a relief!

    When Aaron and Connor got home from running to the commissary to buy stuff for my surprise, I got Aaron's ready. He was surprised and loved it. We both made an agreement not to spend much money, if any at all, so I succeeded.

 Connor's coupons for Aaron. Haha!

      After eating some of his treat, he sent me upstairs so him and Connor could make mine. He made me a homemade edible arrangement. It was perfect and so thoughtful! 

Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day with your loved ones too! 

XOXO,
