My Valentines

I love my two Valentines, Rick and Fiona. We got to celebrate this week together. Here are a few recent pictures of Fiona first:

Fiona was given a balloon at Publix during our shopping trip that day and loved it. She played with it a long time.

She's so pretty in yellow.

Picnic in the park with Daddy. This is my favorite T-shirt she wears. The color shows off her eyes and it has a panda with a pink mohawk playing an electric silver sparkle guitar. :)

She started walking along the walls this week! She is going to be walking in no time. I heard her coming into our room and when I turned around, I expected her to be crawling, but she was walking into our room! And yes, it is that warm in February that she's wearing that onesie by itself.

My other Valentine and I went out on a date this weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day. We went downtown to a fun place we went to last year, Lola's on Harrison. We had a fun time.

Rick got the lamb neck with polenta. He wasn't a huge fan but was glad he branched out.

It got the ricotta gnocchi with mushroom sauce. Yum!!!

The view from our seat. Not a great picture but it was nice. We could see the bustling street outside.

There is a bakery just a few blocks away that we really enjoy on a special occasion. After dinner, we walked over and enjoyed some pastry. I would never guess in a million years Rick's favorite thing at this bakery would be anything involving fruit, but he loves the fruit tart at Chocolada. Rick has even said to me, "If a dessert doesn't have some kind of chocolate, what's the point?" Yet, there he was eating that tart. I got the vanilla eclair and we shared. It was delicious. Meanwhile, right outside the bakery, there was a live performer, as do many restaurants downtown. Fortunately, south Florida has outdoor seating about 10-11 months out of the year because of the very warm weather, so the music never stops. :) We had a wonderful time together.
