Friday's Five-Valentine's Edition

We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day in our house because we have birthday's right around the corner.  But, I love the sentiment of a special day to tell those around you how much you love them. I wish I had made this list when we first got married, because I am sure that it is drastically different now.  As we each change over the years, so does my appreciation for this man. Happy V-Day, Z.

Five things I love about my husband:
1. His determination and ambition
2. He is an AMAZING dad, and I love hearing him talk about how much he loves our kids.
3. He provides me a lot of security.  He knows exactly how to calm me when my nerves are rattled.
4. He will always do anything, or try something new even when I have trepidations.
5. He's pretty funny and makes me laugh. A lot.

Friday's Five

This list is about my baby boy, who is growing up way to quickly. Sometimes I looks at him and I can picture a little toe-head boy running down the beach.  I've actually had that vision in my head since I was pregnant with Maeve, which is why I thought she was going to be a boy, but that's another story!

Five things I love about Finn:
1. The Finn Grin: His completely irresistible smile.  Seriously infectious.
2. His laid back attitude: If he is fed and has a clean diaper, you will not see a happier baby on this planet.
3. His Chunky/Chubby little thighs: enough said. I just want to eat them up!
4. He lights up when he sees the people/animals that he loves.  At only 6 months, he completely recognizes Mommy, Daddy, Maeve and Guinness.  He also goes crazy when he sees one of us, and it is so heartwarming!
5. Those Baby Blues:  His eyes are a really clear, beautiful blue (right now...we'll see if they change) and he really smiles with his eyes. I hope he grows up to be as kind as his eyes say he is...

Five blogs that I read everyday (via google reader)

1. DadCentric:This is a blog written by several Dads and they have a hilarious viewpoint of family life.
2. STL hops: St. Louis Beer!
3. tuned in: This is a blog written by the TV critic for Time magazine.  You should read his view point of the who Jay Leno/Conan O'Brian debacle.  It's pretty interesting. 
4. the inspired room: This is a great blog full of decorating ideas for your house
5. the hostess with the mostess: This is another great blog about entertaining and decorating your house for parties.  

Friday's Five

I read a couple of other blogs that have inspired me to write more regularly as a creative outlet (Simply Modern Moms, The Inspired Room) and at SMM, Tiffany does a list on Friday's called Friday's 5 @ 5. So, this is my take on that.

Given that we have 5 inches of snow on the ground and that the low today was 5 degrees, I thought it only appropriate that my introductory Friday's Five is:

Five Things I Hate About Winter:
1. Cold toilet seats
2. Itchy Dry Skin
3. I can't use my iphone while wearing gloves
4. Gray Gray Gray Everywhere
5. Static Electricity--I get shocked all the time!
