February

It feels like it is forever February.

How could such a small month last so long?

February weather teases us with 70s then teens; 60s then 20s; ice and snow then shorts and t-shirts.

It's cruel. ;)

I do love that our front tree is starting to bud,

My Day Lilies are 4 inches tall,

and I saw some daffodils blooming along side the road.

Spring is right around the corner!

But, until then,

This is what we've been up to:

Here is a picture of the hideous snow storm we had on Feb 12-13th.  haha!  Our friends (who live just a couple miles north of us) got 4".

I wanted to write @ James Spann and put our city on the windshield, but for some reason I don't think he would've been that impressed. ;)

(For my out of state friends: James Spann is a local "celebrity" meteorologist)



Snowstorm #2

 I got in the crocheting mood again and made a hat for my friend's (almost) one-year-old.

 One of those warmer days where the kids could actually where shorts and t-shirts.

 This time last year, he was struggling to read.  Now he's reading Dr. Seuss.

 Gav got a valentine from his little friend.  So he enjoyed coloring it.

 Jupiter and it's 4 Galilean Moons.  (The 4th one the camera didn't pick up)

A Cool-looking library kid

Almost full moon

 A Valentine for me from a very sweet and thoughtful friend

 Valentine's Party at the park

 His sister made him a Minecraft V-day Card

Our Junk Food Lunch

 We discovered that we could take pictures of ourselves with the laptop.  First, a sweet one with my daughter.

Then we got a little bit crazy.

And then, a little crazier.

And I'll spare you the other 6 that we took. :)

And so, I don't end with that bizarre picture...

Here are some flowers that Matt got me one day when I was feeling down.
