My Valentine, My Mini-Van

Well, the family trio had quite an exciting week last week. Let's review, shall we?

It all started with a call on Monday evening (the 11th) when we almost walked away from the mini-van deal over $23/month. Yes, that's right, we drive a hard bargain. Once we ensured that we got the payment we wanted, we found out that our van would be ready for pick-up on Tuesday instead of Thursday! I (Sarah) think it is the best car I've ever owned! I am now officially a mini-van mom and I love it. Jeff and I feel it's luxury at it's finest (in the mini-van category) but Jeff can't understand why younger kids don't stare at it when we drive down the road. :)

Moving on, Reagan had her first Valentine's party at Ms. Shirley's house last week! Mommy made cookies for her to take. I decided that the best way to make it look like she signed the valentines was for me to sign her name with my left hand. Remarkably, I was pretty good at it after 21 valentines. Needless to say, Jeff and I raided her valentine stash that evening while she was napping. I can't wait for Halloween...

To celebrate our own personal Valentine's Day, Jeff and I spent a night away from home at the Chateau! Grandma Margie watched Reagan overnight so mommy and daddy could spend quality time together. We had dinner at the hotel and then went downtown to a local hotspot. We quickly realized that it's not quite our scene anymore and decided to go back to the hotel. Luckily my dad was in the area and gave us a ride back to the hotel! What a lifesaver! In the end, Jeff and I had a great time reconnecting and rekindling the spark that got us married in the first place! :)

Oh, but the weekend wasn't over, no it wasn't. We got home around 7:30am and found that Grandma Margie and Reagan had a pretty decent night! Reagan can be unpredictable at night but it seemed as though all was well! We went to church with Grandma and then headed out to the lake to see Grandpa and Mimi! After the lake we came home and spent time with Grandma Candy and Poppa Bob. You could tell by the way that Reagan just stared without any expression on her face, that she was people'd out for the weekend.

And to round out the week (although it happened today), Reagan received her SSN card in the mail! Hooray! Mommy and daddy can now file taxes!
