Happy Valentine's Day

We're in Kenosha visiting family. We flew in on Friday night and Adam traveled great even though the flight was after his bed time. First thing we noticed on Saturday morning the cousins are on complete opposite schedules. Their naps don't line up at all, but with Adam only taking one a day it's not too hard to plan around it.
Saturday we went to Titus's alumni basketball game. Adam loved watching basketball. The boys wore matching warm up suits- so cute. Grandpa Bob and Grandma Denise met us at the game. Grandpa Bob and Adam ran all around the gym in between games. They had way too much fun. After the game we went out to dinner at 8:30! Again way past Adam's normal bed time, but he was in such a good mood. He fell asleep almost immediately in the car on the way home.
Sunday's plan was to go to Chicago to visit Matt and Shar and maybe go to a museum. Adam woke up super crabby Saturday morning that he needed a morning nap. Museum's don't stay open very late on Sundays, so we abandoned that idea in favor of a laid back day of just visiting. We walked from Matt and Shar's to a German restaurant in their neighborhood for dinner. I figured the place would be dead. To our surprise walked in to a packed restaurant with live German music. After dinner Adam wanted to be on the dance floor, and when a slow song started to play and a bunch of people started to dance he asked me to dance with him. So I picked him up and swung him around on the dance floor. We waved and his dad and aunts and uncle and it was such a sweet moment. My little valentine!
Monday we went shopping and had a coffee break at Starbucks before going to watch Titus coach a basketball game. After the game we put Adam to bed and then I cooked valentines dinner- garlic shrimp, pesto tortellini and asparagus. Dave and I ate first, because Ann and Titus were taking care of James, then we took over James duty and let them eat all alone. It was nice to sit down to a home cooked meal just the two of us. Definitely a special valentines day!

I made the boys little tie shirts for valentines day and to specifically wear to the basketball game.
