Valentine's Day was just another day for us. Jay worked and I cleaned the house. Then we cooked steaks and sweet potatoes at home for dinner. We finished off the evening with some yummy strawberry cheesecake. We made a pact of no gifts and/or flowers. Waste of money!!
My mom had gastric bypass surgery on February 23rd. She is doing really well; she started back to work yesterday. She's lost 20 something pounds already!!
My grandad came down to visit (and for moms surgery) on Feb. 22 and left March 8 (He was here for two weeks). It was nice having him here and getting to spend some time with him. He was also a big help to mom while she was recovering, and good company too.
Jay and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary March 3rd. We worked all day and then had a nice dinner at Outback. We took a 4 day weekend that week to spend some time together since it seems we only see each other in passing lately. We didn't do much, just relaxed and ate out a lot! Here are some highlights:
Thurday was our dog Sassy's surgery. She has a large growth removed from her foot, 2 small ones inside her mouth and 2 on her face, as well as a skin tag burnt off her side. Poor dog! She is recovering well.
Friday evening we went to the county fair with Megan, Mike and baby Dominic. We had a lot of fun!!! Dominic just turned 8 months and he is such a joy to be around! (The weekend prior to this he spent the night and following day with us. We love having him!)
Saturday we ran errands, did some shopping, had a nice lunch together, and watched a couple movies.
Sunday we went to the local "fountain" park with Meg, Mike and Dominic. We had a lunch in one of the pavillions and let Dominic play in the fountains and the intercostal a bit. It was a gorgeous day, but Dominic didn't like the water much. I think it was still to cold for him.
Now we're back to normal, just working and such.
Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.
