What I Did and Didn't Know

I knew that we were going on a romantic Valentines weekend trip to....

Russ told me Tuesday evening that on Thursday we were heading to the big city. Russell had the plane tickets booked, the hotel room reservered, a babysitter arranged (Thanks to my Mom, she drove the boys to and fro and they loved it) and my resposibilities covered.

Sweet, so sweet.

but.......

what Ididn't know!!!!!

Cameron was planning the same thing for Jodie.

They met us there!!!!!

Yay a weekend with my best friend

I didn't know the flowers would be so beautiful.

I didn't know the Granville market was so neat.

So many good things to see.

And eat.

I didn't know Landry was going to be so good. She was a perfect tag along.

And I didn't know the view from our hotel suite would be so fantastic.

I do know that I love Russell. He is so good to me and I Love him immensely. He is

teaching our boys so many good lessons. Somewhere there are four little girls who are going to be very lucky someday to marry a Russell replica.

I don't know who you are, but I do know you are going to be very blessed little ladies.

Happy Valentines Day to my favorite person in the world.

I Love you Russell.

Updated Pictures

I am so far behind in updates that I figured I better post some of Landry just for Aunts, Cousins and Grandmas who haven't seen her for a while.

A surprise awakening

So Happy!

We love this Girl

New Design by Me!!

I really needed a spot to file bookeeping items and magazines etc... but got tired of the old filing cabinets that I had moved from house to house. This house I figured needed updated filing furniture. So I got an idea. About 3:00 am ,I am guessing, I dreamed this up. I love it, it turned out better than I thought and it's very handy.

The Finished Furniture

You will need two of these. A very willing husband, did I mention how much I love him? and a trusty side kick who I also love.

They made me a new base that would raise the old file cabinets off the ground a bit. Looks a little more like a piece of furniture.

I primed and painted old file drawers.

And added a cool, fun color found also in the rooms rug.

Peacock Blue, (thanks Karli)

Before:
Old, unmatching drawers, handy but not too pretty.
