Don't try this at home...

...unless your at Grandma's. So Merrick saw something he wanted on the kitchen table and decided to help himself. :) He climbed on the bench, then up onto the table, and then stood up and walked across the table. I was trying not to laugh...so he was *quickly and sternly* removed by Daddy. ;) But it was so ridiculous I had to take a picture!

Better Late than Never

So Billy and I were able to go out on a "date" for the first time in quite awhile. Our weekends are usually taken up with church activities, and Billy works/does homework most of the rest of our waking hours. :) My friend Ellen volunteered to keep Merrick for us so we could go out for Valentine's Day. *We are forever grateful...because we know how much of a handful he can be! haha* We decided to try somewhere new, and went to P.F. Chang's for dinner. It was REALLY good...everyone should try it. :) It's a really nice Chinese restaurant, and I think this was the first place I'd ever been where I actually LIKED the egg roles. *I've never been an egg roll fan* Anyway...when we got to the restaurant there was a really long wait, but being that we didn't have someone to chase around I don't think either one of us minded sitting down for longer than 5 seconds. We left stuffed, even though we ended up skipping the "Great Wall of Chocolate" (which is a very huge and chocolate piece of cake). Hope that everyone else had a great Valentine's Day/weekend, and got to spend time with the important people in your life!

A Chocolatey Holiday Can't Be Bad...

Here are some random shots from the Sweethearts' Dinner at church tonight. It was lots of fun, with lots of great food. Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day tomorrow! :)

Just a picture of our day

So here are a few shots of the daily happenings around here. This first shot is one of Merrick *the resident monkey* trying to climb onto our desk...This next photo is a picture of what happens when Merrick is left alone for .5 seconds...:)
And finally...Merrick *aka King Kong* is speaking his piece on the trunk in our bedroom.

Half-Way Point

Here are some pictures of my belly this month. Almost 20 weeks now. Half way there! :)
