Happy Valentine's Day!



Instead of having the romantic dinner ALONE,
we opted for a family day to the zoo.
Our wonderful neighbor (and more like an auntie) Jane,
got us a year pass to the zoo.

LOVE

Seriously.
Despite Ian's constant challenges to do as he pleased,
it was a great morning.
Gabi was by far the most well behaved (WOW).
Sofi a close 2nd.


Ian.
Ianchito.
Ian Giovanni.
John John.

OH.MY.GOD.

Cry after cry after temper tantrum.
He wanted to run.
He wanted to walk.
He wanted up.
He wanted down.

Nothing.at.all.made.him.happy.

Except to do what HE wanted.
And that wasn't going to happen.

But it all worked out in the end.
We had fun!
Thankfully we can go back as much as we want.
No stressing the fact that we got a third of the way through the zoo.

And as always, we love our Melissa.
She is the greatest therapist EVA!
Always working w/ all 3 although Ian is the one signed up :)
I see a lifelong friendship!!!


The orangutans had a love thing goin' on.



And of course, I could show the million shots of animals.
But they aren't spectacular.
So instead...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

It is much better celebrating w/ a family.
No doubt!

XOXO,
