Tea for Two

My fourth niece is here! Little baby Charlotte came just 3 days after our 2nd anniversary. (She's the reason why I took a short break from blogging.) Since today is her mother's birthday, I thought I would go ahead and share some of my pictures of her. Garrett loves "Baby Sister". He only occasionally acknowledges that her name is Charlotte and not Baby Sister. Baby Sister gave him a new Dinoco McQueen! Already smiling in her dreams! So happy she's here! Not to sure about being out. A very happy grandpa. I love seeing Jonathan with our nieces and nephews. I know he'll be such a good dad! (No, that was not a pregnancy announcement.) Garrett helped make a sign to welcome the addition to the family. We all love baby Charlotte!

For those of you on Instagram, I'm sure you've been seeing a lot of posts with people sharing five things about themselves. Well, my cute friend Jamey tagged me in her blog version and so mow here are my five.     1. For the first year of my life, I watched Peter Pan every single day. It had to stop because I wore out the VHS. (Boy, do people even know what a VHS is anymore!) 2. In my entire life, I have lived in a 3 mile radius. Thanks to Jonathan, I at least left the city I grew up in for almost two years. That should be changing by the end of this year though. 3. I can out belch just about anyone, including my husband. I refused to do it in front of him because I was worried that it would scare him off. Luckily, it didn't and now I've been helping him to not burp like a little baby. 4. When I was in high school, I really wanted to get through school, have a career, and eventually settle down and have a family. That seems pretty typical in the ...

When I was growing up, I don't ever remember really caring about Valentine's Day (especially when there were no more class parties and candy Valentines). Now I love the entire month of February! Not only for Valentine's Day, but also for our anniversary. I don't feel silly for leaving up all of my decorations for the entire month. Jonathan and I take turns being in charge of celebrating Valentine's Day and our anniversary. This year he was in charge of Valentine's Day and can I just say that he made the best meal ever! He decided to cook dinner for us and I just figured it would be a really simple recipe. I was totally wrong! He found a recipe for  Chicken Paillard with Cherry Sauce & Parsley Rice . I was really  skeptical  at first, but it was sweet and tart and delicious. (I LOVE tart!) There was even enough for lunch the next day! Here is the craft that I was hinting at in  this post.  I have been seeing so many cute embroidered crafts ...
