For our readers out there reading a little too much into our blog posts, here's another one related to children. A video of him reading his favorite children's book, "The Story of Ferdinand." Correction, his favorite book, period.

Baby Shower!
We recently headed back to Texas for a baby shower for Jessica's cousin Laura and her husband Joel. They are having a little girl, named Alice, later this summer.
The shower was book-themed. Can you name all the children's books they made decorations for? (If you get more than eight, you're looking too hard).
Posing with the lovely mom-to-be!
One of the shower games we played was a race to see whose "water broke" first. We froze little plastic babies in ice cubes and put them in everyone's drinks. The person whose water broke first got a special prize (and will be the next in our family to have a baby!)
All the cousins together! Quick note: Angie, the second from the left, was the winner of the game described above. Big congrats go out to Angie and her husband James!
Speaking of flies, check out this baby frog umbrella! Does that mean it's a baby frog, or it's a baby umbrella? Either way, the parents-to-be did an amazing job modeling their gift.
Scottie, one of the proud grandmothers-to-be. FYI, she's not smiling for the camera, she had that look on her face the whole shower!
Kathy made an amazing quilt of fabrics from everyone in the family for Baby Alice. They ended up with so many shirts that the quilt is double-sided. That way, when Baby Alice spits up on it, her parents can just flip it over!

Happy Valentine's Day!
In an effort to skip the crowds that often come with eating out on Valentine's Day, we decided to eat in.
We baked some salmon and asparagus, pictured here, and mashed up some potatoes to go with a delicious bottle of Prosecco (an Italian sparkling wine).
And here is our dinner table. A wonderful meal that ran us under $20. And we didn't have to spend all that time getting all dressed up to enjoy it!
