Happy Belated Valentine's Day

So last week we had a couple of new events at our house. First, Allison got her first cold, which then spread to me and eventually Chris... we were all miserable, fortunately it was at separate times! Allison and I had our colds during the week and Chris got his on the weekend. At least A and I were able to be snuggly together and then we let daddy be. As you can tell by my last post, it wasn't easy trying to clean Allison's nose, and as the week progressed it didn't get any easier! She got more upset every time we cleaned it and it was apparent that it was becoming raw. I kept hearing about Aquaphor for her cracked/chapped skin, so I finally went out and bought some. It's like a miracle! It cleared her skin up almost immediately and after 3 days, it was almost completely gone! So now I know, Aquaphor will be a staple in our household!

We also celebrated our first Valentine's Day together! Well, last year she was around, just not where we could celebrate with her! Chris had to work late, but insisted on cooking dinner, so we had a lovely evening at the house together. He arrived home at 8 and we didn't end up eating until around 9, but Chris made a fantastic salmon pasta with a nice glass of wine! We also traded Valentine's presents and we all got something that we loved. Allison got her links that she's been wanting for a long time. Chris got a super cute tiger that sings a song that makes us laugh every time we play it! And Chris got me flowers and a beautiful heart necklace! All in all a very nice night!

Nothing else really happened last week. It was our first weekend together in awhile, so I decided to go walking/shopping. I thought it would be best to get my workout on before I get too bundled down with shopping bags, and it was a good thing! We power walked through the outlet mall for 30 minutes before finally stopping to shop. It was nice because I got to quickly window shop and find all the places I wanted to go and then shop. Osh Kosh was having a 50% off sale with an additional 40% off sale, so Allison got a couple of shirts for summer and a very cute hat for next year! Then Carter's was also having a 50% off sale, so we had to stop in (also because I had a coupon). Well, it was a good thing I did the power walking before... Allison has A LOT of new clothes for summer, and some wonderful bath soaps/lotions that work well on her skin!

So something is wrong with my computer/the blog, and I cannot upload any pictures! I've been taking lots of them, so one day there will be a post devoted only to the pictures! I don't know what's wrong, I've tried for several days to upload them and I've tried clearing my computer and trying a different computer... nothing seems to be working! I promise, I'll keep trying though and I'll post them as soon as I can!

See y'all soon!
