not much to report. valentines day was nice-just took it easy due to low back pain that ached from my lumbar region all the way down to my tail bone. rory got stickers and a stuffed animal, brian got underwear and i got see's candy (i only had to put the catalog right in front of brian with my favorites circled to get it). we managed to get out for a walk on saturday, because we knew that sunday was going to be very very cold.

i took rory to a friend's birthday party sunday afternoon and it was great to see them holding hands and running around together. sooooo sweet.

i'm trying to plan a trip up to burlington some friday to see tara and the kids, but also to visit old navy as rory has started a growth spurt in the height department. all of a sudden, all the pants that previously had to be rolled up are now just the right height, or bordering on getting too short. and she's growing out of her socks! so it's time to stock up. she's also started to take an interest in picking out her own clothes, which makes for some interesting combos. one day this weekend, it was all about flowers-purple flowered pants and a pink shirt with flowers appliqued on it. tres flowery. another day-red was the order of the day. we'll see what the future holds...
