Valentine's Day... Finally

It only took us about two extra weeks, but we finally celebrated Valentine's Day. These trips to Guam for Dave really cut into family time. Sophie got one of those foam floor alphabet sets from Dave and I. She and Dave love it, but I have to admit that I'm getting tired of picking up little foam pieces all over the house. Sophie also got this pretty dress from her Grammy and Grandad in Texas. Here's the best shot I could get of her spinning, which she loves to do when wearing her pretty princess dress.

Sophie's next favorite thing to do is run. She runs everywhere. At our house you really can hear the patter of little feet as she runs from one room or activity to the next. I just love her little face. I can't believe she's almost two and a half.

We're currently working on teaching Sophie her colors. Right now everything is either red or blue. Every once in a while she comes out with pink, but it's not going great. If anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it.

This was my Valentine's Day craft project. I found this really cute Maya Road mailbox on Two Peas in a Bucket (my favorite scrapbook shopping site) and I just had to have it. I pretty much craft-lifted the entire project from something I had seen on the internet. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I used Pink Paislee paper, Prima flowers, and a bunch of Maya Road embellishments.

I made this flowers following a tutorial on www.lollychops.com. They were a lot of fun to make and didn't take too long.

I haven't posted any photos of Duncan recently. He's looking a little older, but not as fat as usual. Having Kea around to chase has really helped get his weight under control.

Here's Kea, I can't believe we've had her almost six months. How time flies when you're housebreaking a puppy... or attempting to.
Here's a sneak peek of Max's room. We just got the art work we're planning on hanging back from the framers, so we'll hang that hopefully tonight and post some more pictures in a couple days. Not too much longer until Max joins us. I'm getting pretty uncomfortable, so I'm more than ready for him to make his appearance. I think Dave's ready for his paternity leave. He gets two weeks, Yeah Navy! Sophie asked me yesterday when she could hold Baby Max, so I think we're all getting impatient.
