Valentine's Weekend

So far, it's been a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend! Everyone is much healthier. Zach has a little cough still and my mom does as well, but everyone is feeling much better! Zach and I went to the Celebrity Dinner Party hosted by the CF Foundation. This is the first year we have been able to go. It was nice to dress up and have a night out together! We were able to sit at a table with some of the other CF families we know. Each CF family that is part of the Steel Magnolias group I am in decorated a Galapaloza Horse for the center pieces. These horses were then auctioned off during the night. The horses were supposed to represent each CF child. Cameron's horse was Lightening McQueen....that's his favorite thing and has been for about two years now! We put a bid on his horse, but were out-bid by someone who wanted it for their grandson. Oh well. The horse at our table was bought by a couple that has a grandson with CF. They said they didn't need the horse, so they gave it to us for Cameron. That was very nice of them! Their grandson lives near Alabama, but they come to the Louisville events often. They even made a large donation during the "Cure" auction. It was so nice to see how supportive they were!
My mom was nice enough to watch the boys at the cabin Friday night. Then, we met her and the kids at Cameron's basketball game Saturday morning. Cameron did wonderful again! He made one basket during the game and played during all 4 quarters. He is just so cute running around out there! After the game, my mom took the kids back to the cabin and Zach and I continued to have some time to ourselves. We came home, took a little nap, then went to see Avatar. We loved it!! We are both still thinking about that movie! It gives you a lot to think about. Then Zach had made reservations for us at this restaurant called the L&N. It is an old carriage stop that was turned into a wine restaurant. We started with tasting three different wines each, then got a glass of what we liked best. Their food was very good! It was a nice place, we'd love to go back again.
Today is Valentine's Day. Zach is still in bed, taking advantage of sleeping in while there are no kids in the house. I got up and started picking up the house, getting laundry going....I feel like I need to get some of that done while the kids are out. Then we may stop for some breakfast and then head to the cabin to eat dinner with my mom and pick up the kids.
Tomorrow is President's Day, so we are all off. We are expected to get some snow, so maybe we will be able to go outside and play some. I have an early appointment for a CT scan, so I'm hoping the roads are safe enough for me to keep the appointment!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
