Well, we had a lovely Valentine weekend David and I so enjoyed our getaway to the beach (even though it snowed while we were there which made the morning swim at bit chilly! juuuust kidding about the swimming part – ha).

We were at a couples’ retreat which was the best yet in my book! My wonderful in-laws put the whole thing together (who knows how they do it?), my even more wonderful hubby and some guys played some fabulous music for the conference, and the speaker was great too. Of course, the time away one-on-one with my Valentine was the best part!

Mom and Dad were such a huge blessing in coming down all the way from WV to keep Colt for us. He had a great time and we knew he was in good hands All I can say is he and Gramps had their years quota of burgers and milkshakes!

Now we are back to normal, and loving that too. . . Colt is on a “boot” kick. He loves his rainboots and wants to wear them every time he sees them (Hence the pictures to follow of him working his puzzles in his boots).

He looks like he’s concentrating really hard on this piece! (or else he’s pooping?) He can work the animal puzzle without missing a beat. . . the numbers and letters need some more “play” time

This is a pic I took of Colt after her got finished playing in the snow last weekend. He played in the back yard for a long time by himself while I was fixing dinner (I could see him through the back windows of course). Then he decided to bring some snow to the porch and eat it. Quite cute
