Hello there!
Although February has been busy I haven't done a great job of documenting it! Let me sum it up for you - I do have some fun pic's to share.
I turned 30 February 11th. There are no pictures as I am the one who takes them :) It was a great birthday though. Nathan, Alice and I went to Tucson for the weekend. We left the older two at home with Nanny and they had a ball with her. We three had a great time! Amazing how differnet the trip is with only one kid to worry about :) We got massages, went to a Super Bowl party, went to the Gem and Mineral Show (all 3 girls now have rings I'll pass onto them at some point) and had a great dinner with friends. Nathan and I got some great hang out time alone and even got to see a movie. Nathan gave me an amazing watch along with the weekend getaway. I love it as I've never loved a watch before!
We're starting to play games as a family. We've been playing candyland as it's great practice for Jane with colors and Katherine totally gets it. For some reason Katherine never wins and it drives her crazy. I guess it's good practice at being a good loser :) Alice perfers to eat the players, but between the 4 of us we can usually keep them out of her mouth.
We've also been playing pictionary and modified hangman on the easel. The girls love it. We also put paper on there and let them draw. Pepper thinks it's pretty fun too.
Alice got RSV. It's an upper respiratory virus that can be very serious for kids under 2. Luckily she had a mild case and after a few days of breathing treatments every 4 hours (we think they may have given her laughing gas on accident) she's much better.
Nathan thought a family movie night would be fun so after dinner one night we blew up the inflateble bed and rented a kids movie. It was fun, but Jane isn't quite there yet. She just can't sit still that long. Plus they have to learn how to do family slumber parties so there is a learning curve.
We sort of skipped Valentine's Day on accident, so celebrated it on the 15th instead. These cool chicks didn't mind though. Alice was sleeping during this picture.
Nanny brought down two of her big kids toys and Alice is absolutely in love with the one below (not sure what's it's called...the saucer?) She's happy as a clam in her command center and loves putting her legs down to stand up for a bit at a time.
Katherine has learned how to ride her bike without traiinging wheels! She and Daddy have been working on it all week. The picture below is this morning, her first time riding by herself with no training wheels and starting from a dead stop. Big deal for her. Look how excited/proud Daddy is.
So far February has been great, hope it's been going well for you too.
My sweet, sassy girls with their sun glasses. I was making them a picnic lunch so had them playing/waiting in the backyard while I got it ready. When I looked up they were sitting like this talking and hanging out. So sweet, love that they are friends.
I LOVE sleeping babies. There is nothing sweeter in my mind.
Sweet baby. She's figured out crawling now and is on the move. It's very hard to get her to sit still long enough to get a good smiling picture, I'll take what I can get.
