February


Wow... February has flown by.

Tomorrow is Jeremy's birthday. He has been dreading turning "30" for the last year... and tomorrow it will happen. We will celebrate his birthday by setting up a book fair... definitely not the funnest way to celebrate, but at least it is profitable.


We had tons of Snow if February. Jeremy took this picture of the cow on the farm:

It isn't very clear because he took it during a blizzard. He and the kids had a great time making snow forts using the TALL mounds of snow the snow plow left behind.

Katie and Jeremy had fun at a Daddy-Daughter Valentines Day Dance at Katie's school. They played musical chairs and apparently Katie was the champion. She made SURE she won every round and came home with some great prizes.
This week William had his first haircut. We were kind of sad to see is auburn mullet go and now that his baby hair is gone he looks like a strawberry blonde. We think his new haircut makes him look very grown up and more like Katie.

Ashton had his tonsils and adenoids out, tubes put in his ear and his tongue clipped on Thursday. He is still in some pain, but he has been so good about everything. The nurses all thought his hair and love of back hoes were adorable. We were worried he would be scared when it was time for him to leave us, but they gave him an oral sedative before surgery and let's just say... it worked. He was a little loopy. Jeremy got him excited about going for a ride on the gourney and that was that!

The great news is the surgery seemed to work! Friday night he turned to Jeremy with a very surprised look on his face and said, "This ear works!" He has been talking more quietly and when we whisper something he can hear it! Yeah!!

The kids had a lot of fun at their school Valentine's Day Parties. They brought home so much candy! Will was thrilled. He has been finding and eating candy ever since.

How we saw the hand of the Lord in our lives lately... Ashton's bedtime prayer thanking Heavenly Father for "couches; temples; Matthew, Katie, and Will; blessings; and Jesus."
