Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine's Day! (dad, thanks for the card)

We had a fun day in the Poch household. I received some beautiful spring tulips from my hubby, and Ian and I spent some of our afternoon making homemade cards for our Tom. For dinner the three of us grabbed a bite at an Italian Restaurant called Maggiano's. We found a great deal where you get a salad, two pasta dishes, an entree and dessert for the table for only $10.95 a person, as long as you come in between 3 and 5:30. So our dinner was appropriately early, since lately our little guy has been going to sleep sooner. We rounded out the evening with the movie Robots (and couldn't stop chuckling), along with a healthy amount of chocolate dipped strawberries. Hope your holiday was grand!

Road Trip to the Black Hills

On Christmas day we headed our little VW to the Black Hills to visit the McFarland’s, a drive that normally takes about 8 to 9 hours. Having a new little lad, however, tends to change the length of such a trip. We split up the drive on the way out and spent the night in Chamberlain. We had to get a little creative with Ian’s sleeping arrangements! Once we arrived in Sturgis, we were most enthusiastically received. This was the first time Bruce, Rachel & Moriah (Liz’s dad and two younger sisters) had ever met Ian. Needless to say, he was the main attraction. The drive home took us a whopping 12 hours! It was very special for us to have some quality time and cuddles with our much loved family. Check out our photos here.
