Happy Valentine's Day (Yesterday)

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day.  A friend from church came and watched the girls while Luke and I went out to dinner.  We went to Outback Steakhouse and boy was in crowded!  We purposely went around 4:30 and still had to wait.  We sat next to an older couple and boy were they a piece of work!  The guy sitting at the table on the other side of them sneezed.  The lady said "do you have a cold?"  waved down her waitress and asked to be moved!  Of course the restaurant was slammed and there was no chance of that happening!  It was amusing.

Jael had a big event today as well.  It was her first day of "drop-in preschool".  A lady at church runs the program out of her house.  You can bring your child as much as you want for as long as you want for $5 an hour.  It's a pretty sweet deal!  Jael went from 9 to 12.  When I dropped her off she cried but I assured the teacher that she would be fine.  When I picked her up at 12 she was still crying!!  The teacher said she cried the entire time!  She would stop for a minute or two and then remember that I wasn't there and cry!  My heart just broke!  I think I traumatized her because she woke up early from her nap hysterical because she didn't know where I was!  She's suppose to go back Thursday so I will let you know how it goes!

Jada is getting bigger and more fun!  She loves to be held which makes life a little more difficult for mommy.  So as you can see in the picture, I have started strapping her to me as I do what I need to do around the house.  I read that it helps burn more calories to carry them around while you do stuff so I guess that is an advantage!
