February

Here are a few photos off my camera from February.  I haven't spent much time on the computer as every waking hour seems to be occupied with something or other!  Brooke wanted to wear her fairy wings outside, so I let her!

Here is Oliver, our almost two year old!  How amazingly fast these two years have been.  This 29 pound bundle of energy has been quite the handful!  Today we had our first broken window (rock through basement window while Brooke and I were using the bathroom) and a whole roll of toilet paper unraveled in the bathroom a few days ago.  He has been teething, FOREVER.  Finally one molar came in and the rest of the mouth looks like it's going to burst with teeth any day.  Two big blood blisters have been on his top gums for almost a month!  He  has definitely had his "moments" lately. 

The temperatures have been slowly rising.  It's not uncommon to have a fifty degree day, which means the kids can last outside longer without getting cold hands.  We have spent six hours outside working in the backyard in the last two days.  It feels SO good to have the sun on our face and the refreshing breeze.

It was nice enough to enjoy a picnic lunch and a little reading time on the patio.

Brooke got a very special present from her Mom.  Tasha was the last Backyardigans she needed to complete her collection.  She has had the best time playing with her new "friend".



As I seem to keep the "schedule" of life moving along, Kent has fewer hours with the kids which makes the time with the kids pretty special.  When Kent gets home Brooke gives him a BIG hug (which is so much improvement from, well, her whole life...), then she tells him, "Let's go feed those DOGS!"  It's pretty special to follow Daddy down to the basement and put two scoops in the dog dishes.  Her other favorite activities with Daddy are reading the "funny's" and watching The Muppet Show on YouTube.  She thinks that Daddy is very special!
