We "celebrated" Valentine's Day by going out to Todai on Friday.  Why Todai?  Because we had a gift certificate that was 5 years old and because since TJ was born we haven't had an opportunity where both of us can go to a buffet and actually eat all we can eat.  It's usually eat quick and rush outta there when the baby gets restless.  It was a good time for us to enjoy a quiet dinner alone and reconnect.  I used to be really big about V-Day and wanted the whole commercial bells and whistles.  Now, it's so much more important that we take time to spend reconnecting and remembering that our relationship with each other comes before our relationship with the kids.  If we're happy together, our family will be happy together.  So, Tim got off easy this year because it only cost him $30 for dinner.  No flowers, no jewelry, no fancy dinner out.  Add this to last year with us not celebrating at all (we kept postponing until we realized it was already a year later), and he's made out pretty well in 2 years, doncha think? 

Speaking of love, the kids have a lot of cute tender moments that I get to witness throughout the day.  Granted, there are also heated moments when CC's frustrating TJ by interfering with his toy project of the hour, but he still loves her and she ADORES him.  Love these moments...
