February Highlights

We were so busy this month that I did not have time to post all of our fun activities until now! We started off the month with a great Super Bowl party and a fun evening in honor of my birthday. Emily made a beautiful lemon cake and we enjoyed dinner with Grams & Art. A few days later we picked Billy up from the airport and spent a little time with Grandma Richards. Always a pleasure. Billy looked good and be-still-my-moms-heart, he actually had a book with him and I got to see him read it! Not a book of my choice, but progress none the less. We enjoyed spending time with him, celebrating Valentines and camping too. The girls enjoyed fishing with Steve and our little friend, Miss MW, caught a HUGE rainbow trout! The boys enjoyed sleeping in the tent for the first time (too many kids, not a big enough trailer!) and we nicknamed it the Mancave. It was cold, but they had a blast. Our camping trip to Lake Skinner was sandwiched by two different tea gatherings. Emily and I hosted a tea class on Friday, before we left. The girls did a nice job of putting together all that they had learned in their previous class and then we came back from camping to a tea in honor of Miss Hawaii's birthday. It was a great month! We are now in full swing of soccer for Kenny and Emily's starts on Monday. Emily is continuing on with her Karate and just earned her second stripe. She also has started piano lessons and is loving that too. Next month will be a busy one! There will be lots of pictures to share! Until then.....
