Right before Valentine's Day, Dallen came down with a nasty cold and fever. My parents also took Emily to the MTC in Provo that same week and decided to come down afterwards for a little visit. So of course I got sick the day they came and was sick while Mom was here visiting for a long weekend. Travis and I had planned to go on a date without Dallen while Mom tended but decided it wasn't worth it since I was so congested and exhausted. So we had a Valentine's weekend at home while my Mom helped take care of Dallen and I. It was still a nice visit with her here and she was happy to have Dallen finally warm up to her and want to play with her. Whenever we visit Gpa Joe and Gma Jeanette there are always so many people that he just never warms up to anyone. So that was Mom's goal, to become buddies with Dallen. He got better half way through the weekend so Mom's trip wasn't in vain. It was a nice break to the mundane winter routine as well. Hopefully next time they come we'll be able to enjoy the outdoors more and have some fun!
