New Friends...







We had a great weekend, with all sorts of exciting visits! Our friends Ed and Kate came up from Virginia for the weekend which is always a special treat. We usually see them a couple of times a year, and always have a great time when they are here, and wish that we all lived closer so that the visits could be more frequent! Olivia had a great time with them, and thanks them for bringing her an adorable monkey pal to play with! (see picture below). 
And that wasn't the end of visitors this weekend, Olivia got to meet her Mimi last night! Mia and Pops were kind enough to offer to babysit so that Adam and I could join Ed and Kate for a valentine's day night on the town in Portland. Mimi came down from Northern Maine to spend some time with her, and Olivia had quite a fun night with everyone! It was our first time leaving home without her, and we were so happy to get photo updates of all the fun she was having, and it was nice to know that she was getting such special treatment while we were out!
We had a great time in Portland, and went to Fuji for a delicious valentine's day dinner at the hibachi grill. I'm not a huge fan of sushi but Adam is, and I have to admit, I am a huge fan of the Fuji "casco bay roll" which is probably one of the more unhealthy rolls because it's fried. But it is so good- I highly recommend it if you are ever in Portland! 
We had a great night out, after dinner we went to RiRa Pub to see some friends and hear some live music. After being a hermit for 9 months, it was great to get out and see people again!! 
I'm not a big celebrator of valentine's day, since I normally consider it just a hallmark holiday- but I was surprised with some beautiful roses from Adam that came with a valentine's day balloon for Olivia. He also got me a gorgeous necklace as a reward for going through labor for Olivia. Isn't that sweet?! I might have to start celebrating valentine's day every year! Hahah! Adam is a keeper indeed. :)
Here are some photos of our fun night- Hope you had a happy valentine's day as well!
