Valentine's Day

We're not big into Valentine's Day, but we always try to celebrate a little for Avery. I decided to make a nice dinner for the three of us, and Avery and I made mini chocolate cheesecakes for dessert. They were so good! You can find the recipe here (although I used low-fat cream cheese instead of regular, and drizzled chocolate on top).


Erik bought me a dozen red roses, and he bought Avery a pink rose and a little stuffed monkey. I made steak and shrimp, and put candles on the dining room table. Avery was beside herself over the candles. And the monkey, who she promptly named Daisy.


Avery also got a minor concussion at school for Valentine's Day. She had a wooden toy shelf fall on her, and this morning she woke up saying the room was "spinning". She also had a headache, and she seemed a little off-balance, so the advice nurse had me bring her in. The doctor diagnosed her with a minor concussion and put her on restricted activity for a week. Wish us luck with that. It's never dull with Avery.

Mini chocolate cheesecakes?! Oh, this might have to be my cheat dessert for the week! I've cut down on sugar a lot....And hope Avery is okay. I don't have kids yet- hoping- but I can only imagine that something like that would scare me! I'm worried when my dogs throw up! -Jessica L

First of all, those cheescakes look amazing! I am so sorry about Avery. I said a little prayer for her the other night and hope she is feeling better now!

I love that Eric bought her a gift, too. That just makes me want kids so bad.

Hope little Avery makes a full recovery soon. How scary!
