O'Neil Family: Valentine's Day

Corey and I haven't celebrated Valentine's Day in so long that I can't even remember the last one we celebrated (sorry babe). This year, however, Nakiah and I woke up to breakfast in bed!!! Corey got up before us, as he does every Saturday morning due to his unfortunate work schedule. I didn't realize it at the time but he got up extra early and made breakfast for his girls. We were treated with cinnamon french toast, fresh strawberries and orange slices, a big glass of milk and a single long stem red rose. If you know Corey, you know this breakfast wasn't piled on a plate with butter and syrup pouring over the edges. He served us on a large white rectangular platter, french toast sprinkled with powdered sugar cut, on the diagonal, neatly arranged on one side of the tray. Fancy cut strawberries and orange slices artistically arranged in the corner of the tray. Syrup poured into a small glass bowl and the rose laying across the tray. What a way to start the morning!!

After breakfast and saying goodbye to daddy, I took Nakiah to the park for some fresh air. She loves playing on the toys but gets a little too brave and demands her independence. I was trying to help her on the steps because she had gloves on and I was afraid she didn't have a very good grip of the rails...she didn't care and pulled her hands back. The picture above is right after her refusing my help and right before her tumbling down the steps and hitting her face on the rails. Below is the aftermath when I asked if I could look at her mouth to make sure there was no blood/broken teeth/cut lips etc.
