February Review

Despite being a month behind on posting, we're still going strong on the Picture a Day challenge. Hooray!

February, while short was a huge month for us. Big decisions where made and exciting things learned. So let's get down to it. In addition to; announcing to the world that we where expecting, hosting a big super bowl party, going to the big 20 week ultrasound and find out it's a girl, & building a fort we also...

Have been enjoying technology and the chance to FaceTime with Our Missionaries on a regular basis. Makes it feel like they aren't so far away. Enjoy hearing all about their experiences in Germany and being able to share the happens of our lives with them. So very thankful for technology. We love you!

 Babysat my Sister's munkins while she finished up her externship. The Little Man was obsessed with baby A and loved feeding her & taking care of her every need whenever she made a peep. To say he hovers over her would be an understatement. Hopeful, he'll love his new baby sister at least half as much.

The Little Man looks forward to Friday mornings and being able to watch the garbage man & his fancy truck dumping all the cans. Love that our garbage man honks and waves to him as he passes. Can't wait for it to be warmer so we get a better view & maybe find out his name. Is that weird?

Most of the FamLee came home for a visit. It was our first time hosting everyone since Val & Duane left on their adventure. Judging by the way everyone settled in for naps almost immediately, I think they still felt at home. Or we're just that boring.....

It felt so good to have everyone here & gathered around the table for a meal. It still takes a bit of work & strategy to fit everyone around the table even with a few adults missing but totally worth it! Felt just like the many holiday meals we've enjoyed together sitting three to a piano bench and practically sitting on each others laps. :)

Tried a new whole wheat bread recipe that is a keeper! Love that The Little Man enjoys helping me in the kitchen. He currently loves to stir anything & spread things like butter and jam for sandwiches.

Spring soccer season kicked off for the The Daughter with practice starting the last week of the month. It's FREEZING but she's loving being back at the game and hanging out with her friends.

Not sure if it's the year of Randy, but it sure is the month of Randy! He received a job offer out of the blue from a local company that would get him back in the field of his degree & get us all health insurance again. After many, many prayers we decided to take the risk and accept the offer. He finished out the month at Elevate and said his good-byes to a team of people that he has truly enjoyed working with and started a new chapter. It was really hard for him to leave such great people but luckily they've all stayed in contact and still do lunch together once a week. Thank you Elevate for being such a great employer for the past three years.

The Daughter took a tumble off her scooter and banged up her face real good. This picture was taken about week and 1/2 into the healing process. It was just too fleshy for me to take a picture of before this point. Proud of how calm she was when she came in to get help & completely amazed at how fast her little body healed.

 A kind note found on my computer one day. Man, I <3 The Daughter!

 It was a wet month, perfect for experimenting with prints. We put on lots of different shoes to see the different prints they leave. He loved it!

Speaking of rain, my Mom found the kids fun rain boots. The Little Man loves his so much that he hardly ever takes them off. Which is incredible for a little boy that has struggled with wearing shoes his whole life. Now if only they'd let him wear them at school, the mornings would go much smoother.

And that's February in a not so brief (sorry) post. :)
