Is it springtime yet?


I haven't been very diligent on posting here lately. Sorry to those who have been checking...

We are all getting a little restless as the winter is getting long. There's something about children cooped up in a house that makes everyone feel like bursting. They are doing good, despite. A couple months to go...
Thomas the train has been great indoor entertainment.

Poor Leyla has been so sick this week.

Valentines Day is a nice distraction from the winter gloom. Today Chloe and Leyla woke up to a pink stuffed gorilla and a note from daddy to his "sweetharts".
We've also made Valentines.


Here they are! Chloe calls them "clementines".

Andy and I celebrated Valentines Day last Friday night. Not only is it a time for us to remember the Lord's blessing on our marriage, but it was also 8 years ago that we got engaged! We ate at my favorite restaurant downtown and then went to the outdoor ice skating rink. It was only 10 degrees out, but if we kept moving we were warm. We thawed out with hot drinks at a coffee shop.

Us before our date.

Good pic of you and Andy! Sounds like you had a good date night.
Austin and I have been sick too, so we can sympathize with Leyla...hope she feels better soon.
