Happy Valentine's Day!

We enjoyed a nice family dinner - Martha Stewart's meatloadf 101, Pioneer Woman's Creamy Potatoes, roasted asparagus and Simply Sweets cupcakes

Since the house looked so empty when we took down the Christmas decorations, I decorated for Valentine's Day. Now the Valentine's Day is over, can I start decorating for Easter - its one of my favorite holidays to decorate because I LOVE my egg tree. Not really into St Patrick's Day.

Going Green

I've been trying to incorporate more 'green' practices in our household. My latest has been in the kitchen switching to cloth napkins. We haven't been able to keep because we don't have enough sets to make it through the week but we're working on it. Here's a great article I found:

4 year stats

Brendan had his 4 year checkup today. He checked out fine, continuing to grow but slowing down in the weight department (his first year he was always at the top of the charts for height and weight). He got 4 shots and was very brave until the last one which hurt - so we decided a trip to Coldstone was a good idea.

height 40.75 inches, 57 percentile
weight 34 pounds, 30 percentile

We also went to Brendan's asthma doctor this week. He still has the occasional flair up of asthma where we have to add in a second medine but most days its 2 treatments of medicine a day using his machine. He's so good about it and we get to read lots of books.
