I can't wait for this special day to arrive!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ron and I celebrate Valentine's Day on February 2nd because that was the night we went on our first date two years ago.

So, after dropping Addy off to play with Grandma Lenore, I surprised Ron by taking him to brunch at La Caille, pink bathrobe tie as a blindfold and all. The food at La Caille was the best that either of us have ever tasted. In addition to sides of caramelized crossiants and quiche, I ordered the yummiest crepe filled with gigantic shrimp and mushrooms and Ron ordered the crab benedict. So yummy! Freshly sqeezed orange juice and creme brulee made the meal just right.

After brunch, we had a couple's massage at Knead a Massage. No pictures of that because we were enjoying it too much! We then spent the rest of the afternoon just relaxing together. It was an especially wonderful day.

And, even though our official celebration was over, Ron still surprised me with breakfast in bed and beautiful long-stemmed roses on Valentine's day. What a sweetie! I love you, Ronnie!

A Smile to Melt Any Heart

Addy is such a sweet, smiley girl. She is also very talkative, especially when there is music for her to sing along with. This is one that I just had to post.

Let's Play!

One evening while I was making dinner, I put Addy in her highchair with her Sesame Street book blocks. She loves these, not only because they are bright and colorful, but also because they either squeak or rattle. She was having so much fun! Once I pulled the camera out, she was delighted and decided to play with me instead. She is getting so big!

(The drool is from all of the teething that has been going on...)

Addy's Teeth

Addy had a few fussy weeks because of her pesky teeth coming in. She tried to be happy, but sometimes it was just too much, even with extra loves from mommy and daddy. Thank goodness for teething tablets! Luckily, they haven't been bothering her very much in the last few days.

Eww! My Yucky Story...

OK, just so you know, this story is a little, well, a lot, bit yucky. I'm just sharing it to remind all of you cute girls out there to be careful.

While we were at Primary Children's with Addy, they gave me a breast pump kit, so that I could pump milk for Addy. I only used it for the one night that we stayed there and then came home to my nice pump. As such, I decided to post the kit on ksl.com, so that it wasn't kicking around my house anymore. (Breast pumps are commonly posted for sale on that site.) It had been on there for a couple of weeks until this morning, when I received a strange email in reply to my ad on ksl.com. It was from a middle-aged man who had a self-proclaimed fetish for breast milk and wanted to buy mine.

Super creepy, huh? So, after talking to Ron about it, we decided it definitely needed to be reported to the Salt Lake City Police Department. As if receiving that email wasn't bad enough, I called the non-emergency number and spoke to Officer Mean-Pants, who basically yelled at me and told me that I should just ignore him and that there was nothing he could do because no law had been broken. And then he hung up on me! I was so upset and bawling about it, so Ron called back and talked to his supervisor. Yeah, let's just say Officer Mean-Pants is going to get quite the talking to. Best of all, the Sergeant that Ron talked to has now opened a case file to track this and any other similar emails.

I have used ksl.com and loved it for years. This is the only negative experience I've ever had with it. One important thing I learned is if you put your home number on ksl.com (or anywhere else, for that matter), complete strangers can do a reverse search on dexknows.com and find out your address and other information. Luckily, I was able to edit my information in time.

We are safe, so please don't worry. I just wanted to share this story to remind everyone what a bizarre world it has become. Please, please, please be careful!
