Valentine's Day 2014

Last night I went to the temple for the first time in over a year (because of how difficult pregnancy was for me and because up till recently Audrey was still nursing every 2 hours).  It was so great.  I know the temple is a place to go to learn, but this time it was a place of refuge for me than anything else.  I suppose that's what it becomes for a lot of Mormon mamas.  An hour or two by yourself, a place to regroup and feel a peacefulness.  I was so rejuvenated and completely ready to go back to my little family waiting for me at home.
And about that little family of mine, I'm way behind on this, but I wanted to post some pictures of our Valentines Day!  It was pretty simple, not extravagant or anything, but I did enjoy dressing Audrey and I in every pink or red article of clothing I could find!

audrey and i woke up to flowers and valentines on the kitchen table from andrew!

and this AMAZINGNESS

while skyping with julia and addy, audrey happened to receive a valentine in the mail….(it had probably been in the mailbox for a day or two but we happened to check it ON valentines day so it was perfect!)
from…..

ADDY!!!

audrey enjoyed it immediately…with her mouth.  hence the pacifier, which a was quickly shoved in before she could love it too much

the ensemble for our walk to the park!  i was wearing a pink sweater, but since audrey's not as steady with a camera as i am there are no pictures of me, sorry.
When Andrew came home we all had one of our favorite dinners and watched a red box movie- Ender's Game.  Not a very romantic one, but we really enjoyed it and it was a nice change from the Jane Austens and Avonlea that we usually have on around here.  It was a wonderful day of LOVE!
