Another year, another Valentine’s Day dinner at Panera. We’ve done this nearly every year since Andrew was born, with just a couple exceptions for other plans or lack of a Panera.

Susan and the kids braved the cold temperatures this morning to come cheer me on in the Red Flannel Run. Susan and I ran this race together 17 years ago when we were dating. It was fun to do it again.
It was bittersweet today as we sold the RV! A nice family came out to look at it on Sunday and today we completed the deal. We are glad it is going to a good home!
For Christmas, Mimi enrolled Lucia in dance classes! Lucia has always loved dancing and she is really enjoying participating in a formal class. Now that classes have started, she and Rose often have their own dance classes at home. Sometimes Lucia even let’s Rose be the teacher.
A few weeks ago Rose moved on from diapers, and today the Pacifier Fairy paid our house a visit, to exchange all of Rose’s pacifiers for a stuffed animal that she can snuggle with when she needs to. I think we were all ready and Rose was excited. Both of these milestones were nice to reach, but also a little sad (yet still exciting) knowing that we won’t experience these stages again.
This afternoon Lucia go to go to a friend’s birthday party. Lucia is attending the HSAP homeschool classes offered by the school district and her friend also attends. Lucia talks about her a lot and was really excited for the party. I think she had fun.
