A Night Out With Dora

Looking very excited about seeing Dora Explorer LIVE.

The theatre in downtown Baltimore.

Good old State Farm. Thanks for making two kids night. And thanks to a husband that works hard, too.

Wishing all our family and friends a Happy Valentines

Sophie and Quincy's V-Day Bash

Cookie decorating

Dancing

Valentine's Day, just another chance to have a party!

(Quincy was too busy eating cookies for a photo)

Just the beginning...

I have started a crocheting class. On my first lesson I learned to make a chain. I was told to keep practicing, which I did and I ended up with over 20 ft. So with some of it I made this crafty little garland.

Family Weekend

In our stake (geographic area of LDS members) they have declared a family weekend once a month. It is wonderful. There are no activities on Friday, Saturday, and only church on Sunday. For Matt and I this means no youth dances, no church basketball games, and no MEETINGS! I actually get to ride in the same car with my family this Sunday. And even the phone calls are less. On Saturday we took our time around the house and went to the Baltimore Aquarium in the afternoon. We have been enough times we can navigate the place in about

1 1/2 hours.

Matt and I love our camera. We are learning something new about it every time we get it out.

We are always having a contest to see who can take the best shot. Here are our winners.

Matt's: There is a photo on the brochure that looks just like this.

Kristen's

After the fish watching we walked over to Little Italy and had fabulous pizza and gelato. Honestly, we went to Italy a couple years ago and this little gem in downtown Baltimore is just as good.
