Happy Valentine's Day!

This little cupid (pictured with his Valentine's gift from Momma and Pops) went to my school to deliver treats to my students. The kids welcomed me with hugs and swooned over my little sweetheart. 

Later, I got a special delivery from my three Valentines.

Thanks to "Auntie Debbie", who will be babysitting Ethan, Kevin and I will go out for our annual Valentine's Day dinner. This year will be a little different than last year or the year before, but it will be just as special!

Happy Valentine's Day to our friends, family, and readers in blog-world! Hope you get to spend it with the ones you love!

A Very Pinsky Chanukah

This weekend, we headed to Cincinnati for some holiday fun! Will and Ethan celebrated their first Chanukah, and it was one for the books! My mother-in-law made a delicious meal, which we devoured...especially the latkes! We all enjoyed opening presents, but the best part was watching Eli open his. This is the first year that he understood what was happening, and had a great time tearing into each new present.

He slept through the whole thing!

The next day, we went to Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike's house for a holiday brunch, where we also participated in a White Elephant Gift Exchange. I ended up with some Bobby Flay tapas plates and dip server, and Kevin got some cutting boards (they are WAY cooler than they sound). 

We also got some cute photo opportunities of the boys together.

I couldn't help myself with this one!

Meet My New Best Friend...

 Thanks to my sister-in-law for getting us the Sleep Sheep On the Go. Because of this fuzzy little guy, I was able to take a long shower and straighten my hair. Ethan was quickly put to sleep by the sheep's soothing sounds. It even has a timer option so you don't have to worry about turning it off. Ethan snoozed in his vibrating bouncy seat while the sheep worked it's magic! I love you, Sleep Sheep!!

Showered with Love

This has been quite the week. I feel like I've been on an emotional roller coaster...partially because of the hormones, which are kicking in full force, and partially because of the highs and lows I've experienced this week. Let's just say, I'm ready for the weekend.

This post will focus on the highs, though. 

This weekend, my very thoughtful friends, Allison and Marissa, threw a Very Hungry Caterpillar baby shower. (They are the two other cute pregnant ladies standing with me in the picture by the diaper cake.) The decor was creative and adorable, and I truly enjoyed spending quality time with my girlfriends. They are already spoiling my little guy...he got many great gifts!

My best friend, Jenn (center of the picture under the cupcakes), made the quilt and burp cloths..beautiful. She's planning to start an Etsy shop with one of her friends. I'll be sure to post about that when it's up and running!

Last but not least, Kevin and I celebrated our TWO YEAR anniversary yesterday. It's already neat to look back and think of how far we've come. I know this is just one of the many adventures we will brave together, and as the years go back, we'll have many more special moments and experiences about which we can reminisce. 

Here is a picture of me at 30 weeks. I can hardly believe my due date is so close...I guess time flies when you're...pregnant???

Father's Day

This daddy will be sporting his new Eddie Bauer diaper bag and his little man!! Happy Father's Day to my favorite daddy-to-be!

 P.S - Due to our trip to Myrtle Beach (which you can read about in my next few blogs), I forgot to post this on Father's Day!

Mother's Day

This year, we spend Mother's Day in Cincinnati with Kevin's family. My brother and mom joined us to celebrate, so I was lucky enough to be with both of my moms. I even got a few Mother's Day gifts...my first! I know some people are weird about moms-to-be "counting" as mothers, but I figure, I am taking care of a baby already...or at least my body is! 

Kevin got me this...

He remembered that I mentioned it one time, so I was not only surprised he actually got me a gift, but that he listened during a random conversation!

My brother got me these books...

 I will be raising a future IU fan...even though he or she is part Boilermaker!

My mother-in-law got me this...

 It's perfect for my laptop or the beach. Plus, it had lots of fun makeup in it!

Just one more picture...me at 14 weeks. It looks a lot like me at 13 weeks...and 12 weeks.

A Valentine's Day Surprise

I'm a little behind on my posting! Here is the beautiful Valentine's Day surprise that was delivered to my classroom. I'm one LUCKY girl!

My Anniversary Gift

Here it is...after three weeks of living with out it, my ring is finally complete. Kevin got me an anniversary band to match my wedding band. The completed ring is AMAZING! This picture doesn't even begin to do it justice. Have I mentioned how awesome my husband is???
