Don't Wait Up!

Last night marked the conclusion of our week-long Valentine's Day! Jason and I spent it alone, without precious baby and dog. We left them in great hands with Grandma Sandy in charge during the first shift and Aunt Cari taking over for the last 14.5 hours (but who was counting?).

Jason and I checked into the hotel (thanks to Aunt Michele!) around 5. We threw down our things and walked to Millennium Park to check out the Bean and the new lights shining upon it. We then waited in a half hour line to get to the top of the Hancock for a couple cocktails (worth the wait when you're with someone you love). By the time we got to the 95th floor, we called to change our dinner reservation at Capital Grille to 9:30. We met a great couple at the bar and had much needed romance at dinner. Hand in hand, we made it back to the hotel for a good night's sleep! 

Meanwhile back home, our little ballerina was busy-busy going on a walk and doing her thang. Cari sent photos (THANK YOU). All of her smiles gave us amazing peace of mind knowing that there was no rush home - she was having a blast. And so, we walked to brunch & enjoyed our time together. 

When we arrived home, we were greeted by a happy dog, spotless home and beaming baby. And they were greeted by a couple really in love. :)

PS - Lucy and I had an extensive conversation the other day! It was awesome. Girl likes to talk (like her mama).

PPS - Lucy met cousin Becky yesterday!! She was so excited to spend time with one of Mom and Dad's favorite people. Thanks to Cousin Becky for the fabulous gifts!
