Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's Day was low key. Brandon had class all day, so I made him dinner that night...chicken parmesan with dark chocolate mousse for dessert!  And I cannot handle Valentine's Day without chocolate covered strawberries, so I made some of those as well. Turned out to be the best baby sitter in the world because Jackson loves them as much as I do! He had his italian food and then thoroughly enjoyed covering himself in chocolate for about 20 minutes. I guess he gets to benefit from my love of cooking and our general love of chocolate. 

Chocolate Smiles...Happy Valentine's Day!
Stuffing the strawberry in his mouth
How good is this dessert? Are you kidding me?
Trying to climb up on the table earlier in the day...he thinks if he smiles enough I will let him continue his ascent. 
Unfortunately I came down with a stomach bug Sunday morning which Brandon then picked up Sunday night. Jackson had a little bit of it too on Monday and Tuesday. Talk about the worst thing ever...35 weeks prego, sick, dehydrated, and having your husband and child sick too. Not fun, but we are all recovering this week and Brandon still made his trip to Mexico for school, so I am thankful for that. Jackson and I spent a couple of days in Austin with my mom recovering and now we are home again. It is pretty quiet around here without Brandon, but we are mostly resting and recuperating anyway. Jackson does go looking for Brandon a couple times a day, so my guess is he will be one happy little boy when we pick him up from the airport tomorrow!
