Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a wonderfully relaxing Valentine's Day at home. Fantastic! Quincy spent most of the day babysitting Theo and Esteban at their house while the rest of us did some reading and relaxing at home. We also began our planning for our trip to France this summer. We will spend 2 weeks in Vannes, visiting our friends and brushing up on our French culture. Can't wait. We spent a couple of hours at the Y in the afternoon, playing some basketball and doing some walking.

In the evening, we fed the kids all some raclette. Now that we have our raclette maker and know where to buy the stinky cheese, we are truly enjoying this favorite meal. We then all buckled down to watch some of the Olympics.

Max was thrilled to see the French win the Nordic cross-country and we all love the speed skating. After putting the kids to bed, Josh and I whipped up a heavenly meal of surf and turf.

I put Josh to work on the broiled lobster tails and he did a fantastic job. It was all delicious and the perfect way to share Valentine's day with the love of my life.

Today.... well, today is another snow day! The snow is coming down hard, we have a couple of inches on the ground and they are predicting a total of 9 inches. School has been cancelled, so I have six kids at home instead of just my four. Hopefully Theo and Esteban's parents can make it home from Las Vegas tonight as planned. If not, it's okay. Sometimes more kids are easier than less. They entertain each other and I love to hear the house full of spoken French! A rockin' "Sardines" game is already going on. Wish me luck!
